The train should be fine, try

I'd expect you can get from GVA to Bern direct, Bern->Interlaken, Interlaken->Grindelwald, 3.5 hrs maybe? You can book and pay for the tickets online and print them out. It'll take that long to drive I think so unless it's a big group the train seems a better bet.

The train will take about 3.5 hours depending on which service. 2/3 changes en-route.
If travelling from the UK, these folks are offering the Swiss Transfer Ticket which will get you to/from your resort for £51.

You must get it before you travel though!

Of course I've never heard of that :D that's 120.- chf which sounds a good deal to me. I have a demi-tariff and Mrs Ise has a General Abonnement so we're paying, or not paying, less than that anyway.

I'll suggest that next time we've some visitors.

I have just priced up the return ticket via Bern at CHF149.60 2nd class on sbb.ch So, buying the Swiss Transfer Ticket in advance would save john101 some money, unless he is part of a large group. He needs to do his sums before he decides :D
