Chauffeur's tipAttending a conference in a lakeside villa? Share the event name and any access instructions at booking, as hotel gates often have set arrival areas.
The route to Cernobbio
The chauffeur selects one of the usual Alpine routes into Italy. Via the Simplon, the drive heads up the Rhône valley through Valais to Brig, crosses the pass to Domodossola, follows Lake Maggiore and continues towards Como. Via the Mont Blanc Tunnel, it passes Chamonix, crosses into the Aosta Valley and joins the motorways across Lombardy. Both routes end near Como, from where Cernobbio is only a few minutes along the lake. The journey takes around four hours.
Arriving in Cernobbio
Cernobbio lies along the lake road just beyond Como, with a small historic centre, a lakeside promenade and a series of prestigious villas set in landscaped gardens. We drop you at your hotel entrance, at private villas on the hillside, or at the town's waterfront. The transfer can also continue to Moltrasio, Laglio and other villages along the western shore, or to Como railway station.
Practical advice
During major conferences, traffic and access to some lakeside venues are controlled, so give us your event details in advance. Business guests often travel in the E-Class or S-Class; teams and wedding parties in the V-Class van or the Sprinter minibus. Child seats are fitted on request. The western shore road is narrow in places, and summer weekends bring heavier traffic, so plan your return to Geneva Airport with a margin. AirportsTransfers.ch shows the fixed price before you pay online.
