Varenna to Lugano

We are traveling from Varenna to Lugano on June 18 (a Sunday), and it looks like no buses run on Sunday. Anyone have suggestions for another way to travel to Lugano? Thanks in advance.

If you can't travel another day of the week, when the bus Menaggio-Lugano is in service, then the options are only 2:

  1. Train Varenna-Milano Centrale, then train Milano Centrale- Lugano (about 2.5 hours in total)
  2. Ferry across to Menaggio then taxi or private limo service from Menaggio to Lugano (about 45 min drive).

The second option is faster and likely more convenient, but obviously more expensive.

or ferry down the lake to the end at Como S. Giovanni and train from there one stop to Lugano.
