Less than two hours of flight link Amsterdam (1h 45'), Berlin (1H 45'), Paris (1h 30'), and London (1 h) to Malpensa's Milanese Port of call, the international airport which is nearer to Lago Maggiore (about 20 km) than to Milan.
It is possible to reach the lake's area by every means of transport: the plane, and the train with its international line that touches the lake west shores (this line links Milan to Genoa, Zurich and Basel with "Cisalpino", Milan to Paris with "Stendhal", both with stops at the main lake's railway stations).
By road, the links are inside of big European motorways: from Gottardo's tunnel, going towards the south, you reach Bellinzona and therefore the lake (from Basel it takes about two hours); the west coast of the lake is crossed by the Sempione's state road.
You can find there any means of transport: car, camper-van to be rent, and train (with picturesque alpine itineraries) ferries and cableway (two means of transport that are faster then cars). Taxi-cabs and taxi-boats are also available for those who can't absolutely forget comfort! |
