Private Transfer
Lake Como to Lugano Private Chauffeur Transfer
This is the shortest of our Switzerland routes — a brief, scenic drive from the Como area across the border into Lugano, often booked as a half-day add-on rather than a standalone journey.
It suits travellers based at a Lake Como hotel who want to visit Lugano's lakefront and old town, or continue further into Switzerland afterwards, without managing the crossing themselves.

Border Crossing Information
Crossing an International Border by Private Car
A short drive from the Como area to the Chiasso border crossing, then on into Lugano via the Swiss motorway network.
Crossing an international border is different from a domestic transfer: border authorities may carry out customs and document checks, and any waiting time at the crossing can affect your journey time. Passport, visa and customs requirements depend on your nationality and destination — please check the latest requirements with the relevant official authorities before you travel.
Why a Private Chauffeur

- Door-to-door: no station changes, no connections, no dragging luggage between platforms.
- Flexible timing built around your flight, check-out or schedule, not a fixed departure board.
- A private vehicle for your group only, not a shared carriage or shuttle.
