Northern Lake Como or Maggiore

Posted by (Massachusetts) on

I want to spend some time - in late September - in the Lakes region. I've been to Lake Como a few times (city of Como, Bellagio, Varenna, etc. - mid lake region) and to Stressa (also to Lugano) so I'm looking for other places people have enjoyed. I will not have a car so trains and boats only. Time frame is flexible but probably looking at a few days up to a week. I fly into Bergamo and after the lakes I'm heading to Bellinzona, Switzerland.

Thanks for any suggestions.

isabel,

Perhaps you could spend a few days at the other end of Lago Maggiore in the city of Locarno. It's a beautiful city and hopefully the weather will still be good in late September. I assume you're arriving in Bergamo via a budget flight?

If you decide on Locarno, it's fairly easy to get there.....

  • train from Bergamo to Stresa and then Ferry to Locarno
  • train from Bergamo to Domodossola and then Cento Valli railway to Locarno
  • train from Bergamo to Locarno via Milano Centrale

I've taken the Centovalli train trip at least twice and recommend it. Ditto the postbus up the Valle Verzasca from Locarno.
