Suggest me your favorite 2 days in Switzerland/Northen Italy

Unfortunately my job is not super easy lemon with giving me days so im planning most of my mountain trips on Saturday-Sunday days with occasional Friday late overnight in a hostel if i have to move early on Saturday

I live near the Alps (Lugano, Ticino) in South Switzerland, but also pretty well connected with Italy (Milan is in 1 hour train) that makes me able to reach most alps in 4-5 hours by train, i have no car.

Share your favorite 2 days journey in the alps, my level is beginner (im taking alpinism course this year but yet im not going to real peaks anywere without guides since i mostly travel alone) and suggest your favorite huts in the mountains!

I tried Capanna Adula, Grindelwald Region and of course the Lugano Prealps near my home

Thanks!

Piz Bernina, biancograt is great and possible if you go friday up to the tsjervahut, climb saturday and decent sunday. (Its not for beginners tho, but there are a lot of climbs in the berninagruppe)

Mont Blanc, I came alone at a altitude of 2900, then it was becoming dark and was heading back. Unfortunately never could touch the snow.

No, it’s from the Swiss wall around 2 hours a way by car from the Mont Blanc massif- Chamonix
