Your Transfer: What to Expect

Pickup: Your driver collects you from your hotel, apartment, or any address in Zurich at the time you specify. No need to drag luggage to a train station or navigate public transport.




The Route: The route heads south from Zurich on the A4, joining the A2 toward the Gotthard. After the Gotthard Road Tunnel — at 16.9 km, one of the longest road tunnels in the world — the landscape transforms dramatically to the Mediterranean-tinged Ticino region. From Lugano, the route crosses into Italy at Chiasso and follows the lakeside road to Como, where the western arm of Lake Como opens up with its famous villas and cypress-lined shores.

Duration & Traffic: Under normal conditions the drive takes approximately 2h 45m. The Gotthard Tunnel can experience significant queues during Swiss holiday weekends and summer Saturdays — sometimes 1–2 hours. Your driver monitors real-time traffic and may opt for the San Bernardino route as an alternative. The Italian border at Chiasso is usually quick.

Como: What Awaits You

Como is the elegant gateway to Lake Como — Italy's most glamorous lake, surrounded by steep mountains, pastel-coloured villages, and the legendary villas of Bellagio, Varenna, and Tremezzo. The city itself features a stunning Duomo that blends Gothic and Renaissance styles, a waterfront promenade perfect for evening passeggiata, and the Brunate funicular that climbs to panoramic viewpoints over the entire lake. George Clooney's Villa Oleandra in nearby Laglio cemented the lake's celebrity status, but Como's appeal predates Hollywood by centuries — Roman-era Pliny the Elder had a villa here. The silk industry made Como wealthy, and boutique shops along the old town streets still sell fine Italian silk scarves and ties.
