Bear in mind alternative routes for the alps as a lot of passes could still be closed at that time of year. Also you can't travel on Swiss motorways without a pass of some sort, has been a while I can't remember exactly how it worked.
WRT other activities near the ring: you can walk through the woods to sit down by the carousel or any other corner you fancy. Down the hill from the grand prix track is what remains of the sudschleife, pretty cool if you like finding 80yo bits of kerbstone in brambles and imagining careering round in over-powered tin cans on 4" wide tyres. There's also the castle, from the top of the tower you can see a lot of random short sections of the ring, which makes you realise just how huge it is. Of course there's also the tourist centre for the ring with race simulators, junk shop, car displays, etc.
