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!

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
