hi everyone. planning a trip in may but i think i am going to have to let something go here. plan to land in milan, stay overnight. then on to stresa. then to saint vincent. finally turin and back to milan for flight home. all in 7 days. is this really too crazy to think about? and i would maybe like the services of a guide or at least someone who can book things like transfers and hotels for me. probably 2 days in stresa, 2 days in saint vincent or chatillon, then 2 days in turin. yeah...only one day in milan. the reason for the saint vincent area is so hubby can see the casino. not sure it is worth it, but photos of this area look wonderful. seems like i will be doing more travelling around by train than enjoying myself. thinking just lago maggiore and turin (for the chocolates) with a day on either end for milan.

There are multiple Chatillons in France. Are you interested in the one west of Geneva or the one north of Geneva?
I'm not familiar with that part of France and cannot find St. Vincent.

thank you, edgar. i have already perused that particular website. and yes...it is not a well-travelled area which is why it is appealing for us. also why it is becoming a pain to get any kind of transport info, tour suggestions, etc. Finding anyone who has first-hand knowledge of the area is quite the challenge. perhaps on to plan "b"....thanks for the response. i am still hopeful someone here can help with actual experience of visiting this area.
