Como
Como and its lake attract travellers to elegant villas, lakeside hotels and weddings, from Cernobbio to Bellagio. Reaching the lake from Geneva by public transport means several changes, while a private chauffeur brings you and your luggage straight to your hotel or villa gate, which is particularly welcome for wedding guests and families.

Chauffeur's tipLakeside roads around Lake Como are narrow; for a villa or hotel along the shore, give the exact address so the right vehicle size is chosen.
The route to Lake Como
From Geneva Airport the chauffeur crosses the Alps either through the Mont Blanc Tunnel and the Aosta Valley, or along the Rhône valley in Valais and over the Simplon Pass to Domodossola. Both routes cross the border into Italy and then reach the Lombardy plain, where motorways lead to Como at the southern tip of the lake's western branch. About 352 km in total, with a drive time of around four hours.
Arriving in Como and around the lake
In the city of Como, the car stops near your hotel, close to the cathedral and the lakefront promenade. Many guests stay further along the shore, in Cernobbio, Tremezzo, Menaggio or Bellagio; the western shore road is scenic but winding and narrow in places, so travel time is a little longer. AirportsTransfers.ch knows these access points and drops you at the gate or reception wherever the vehicle can safely stop.
Practical advice
For weddings and events, the Mercedes V-Class carries up to 7 guests with their bags, and a Sprinter minibus suits larger parties. Couples often choose the S-Class for a more comfortable long ride. Your flight is tracked, waiting time is included, and the fixed price per vehicle is shown before booking. Book your return to Geneva at the same time, allowing extra margin on summer weekends when lakeside traffic is heavy.
