As promised, few tips for your forthcoming trip to Switzerland.
Lugano: beside the town, cable car to Bre mountain
Day-trip from Zurich:
Lucern (pitoresque town) + mount Pilatus
Engelberg (mountain)
Klontalersee (pitoresque lake)
Talalpsee (pitoresque small lake)
Flims/Laax (mountain)
2-day trip from Zurich:
Jungfraujoch/Wengen/Murren (iconic mountains and glacier)
Zermatt (iconic mountains)
Montreaux/Lausanne (city)
Bern (city)
Being November, you need to check beforehand whether the cable cars to go up to some of the mountains/lakes I listed are open since the warm season will be over and the winter season will not have started yet. You can easily google this online. Hope this helps.
