Chauffeur's tipHeading to Varenna or Bellano? Tell us at booking: the chauffeur continues along the eastern shore rather than stopping in Lecco.
The route to Lecco
The chauffeur crosses into Italy via the Mont Blanc Tunnel and the Aosta Valley, or via the Simplon Pass after driving up the Rhône valley through Valais. The route then continues across the Lombardy plain north of Milan, passing the Brianza hills before reaching Lecco at the foot of the mountains. The trip takes around four hours fifteen minutes depending on traffic around Milan.
Arriving in Lecco
Lecco's centre lies along the lakefront, with the Piazza Cermenati and the old quarters close to the water. We drop you at your hotel, at business addresses in the town and its industrial areas, at the railway station or at the cable car for the Piani d'Erna. The transfer can also continue up the eastern shore to Varenna, Bellano or Colico, or into the Valsassina valley.
Practical advice
Traffic on the motorways north of Milan can be dense at rush hour, so leave some margin for your return to Geneva Airport. Climbers and hikers should declare their gear at booking; the V-Class van offers space for up to ten bags. Families can request child seats. For several business meetings in the Lecco and Brianza area, a chauffeur by the hour (minimum two hours) is often more efficient than separate trips. With AirportsTransfers.ch, the fixed price per vehicle is known before you pay online.
