5 Days backpacking the Alps, coming from and returning to Milan

I am hoping to get into the Alps and do some backpacking/hiking/camping for 4-5 days in late June. I will flying in and out of Milan and I am wondering how to get the most out of this short time.

Mostly, I am looking for some recommended hikes for backpacking, perhaps some trail running, and of course, great scenery.

I have considerable experience backpacking and dispersal camping but I have read some mixed things about tent camping through the Alps. Is this something frowned upon? Accepted in certain parts?

Also, what is the best way for transportation? Train? Bus? Hitch-hike? I am not opposed to traveling a little further from Milan to take me somewhere superb, but my time is quite limited so I am taking that into account.

On a side note, any info/recommendations on Milan would be gladly taken as well as I will probably spend 2 nights there.

Thanks to anyone with some helpful guidance!
