Google maps tracking alternative
Some people have issues installing Own Track's Recorder - This one is very minimal and saves your locations to an sqlite file.

What are your top self hosted services that you are very satisfied with ?
I also use OwnTracks on my phone and installed OwnTracks Recorder on my server. I skimmed over my blog post for that but I don't think there's much useful for you there.

none of the location tracking/sharing services are any good
I've looked at OwnTracks, Orion, and Hauk.

OwnTracks – keep track of your own location
As far as I know, owntracks doesn't actually store location history, it only defines a protocol for exchanging current location info between programs. If you're using their "official" recording server, writing a script to import history looks super easy [1].

Open-source, self-hosted location tracking with OwnTracks and Grafana
After setting up the client side, a server-side component to receive the OwnTracks app's requests is still missing. OwnTracks ships with its Recorder, which is a small and simple web application written in C. However, I did not like it a lot, as it does not look particularly beautiful and is very limited regarding its functionality. I rather wanted to visualize my data in Grafana. But to get it there, it first needs to be persisted to a database.

Help for traveling in Switzerland in September
In general, map.geo.admin.ch is great for planning hikes - you can choose the hiking trails overlay (as well as "closures hiking trails" - type in the search bar - to check all is OK. Clicking the little settings gear icon next to the map name in the sidebar gives you info on what it's showing), and use the "draw & measure on map" tool to see how long a given route would be.

How disability-friendly is Switzerland regarding sight-seeing?
Depending on how easy you find it to get around, and what you mean by "all the cool mountains", you could go up to Crans Montana by train and funicular via Sierre, maybe about 3h travel time each way (but very pretty for the most part). It's at about 1500m - not high enough to cause any noticeable problems for people with normal lung function, but obviously I can't speak for you - and has nice views over several of the high Valais peaks on the south side of the Rhone valley. If you are up to gentle strolls then the bisses of Valais could be right up your street, they are flat paths along old irrigation channels that traverse the hillsides at around 1500m, usually with public transport access, and often have lovely views. Those on the north side of the Rhone valley have good views of the high mountains on its south side. You can also stick lower down in the vineyards, though often the paths there go up and down quite steeply so a bit of route planning would be needed (map.geo.admin.ch is an awesome website for that I find, if you can interpret topographic maps)
