Varenna-Esino to Milan schedule is by Trenord. http://www.trenord.it/it/home.aspx The current schedule shows a direct train at 8:37 arr 9:40, and a train at 10:37 arr 11:40.

Diana, You should be able to see the entire schedule from Varenna to Venice by using the www.sbb.ch website (Swiss Rail). The trip from Varenna-Esino to Milano Centrale will be via Regionale (DON'T forget to validate!). The shortest travel time is 4H:03M, but that will depend on which train you use. Cheers!

Diana, you may be looking at the wrong train website or, you may be looking out beyond June 8 on www.trenitalia.com which is currently the last day that you can see full train schedules. They refresh the schedules on June 9. Between now and June 9, Trenitalia will be u-p-loading their u-p-dated schedules. There are numersous trains a day from Varenna-Esino to Milano Centrale and even more from Milano Centrale to Venezia Santa Lucia. The train from Varenna is a Regionale train that takes about 1hr15min to get to Milan. The second train is a very high-speed Frecci train that takes 2.5hrs. Overall, you are looking at 4.0-5.0hrs depending on the run. There will be plenty of trains and, they won't be full. Here's a link to part of a sample schedule. http://gyazo.com/2f34ce9771761c9d237eaa35553dd752 Just put in a day that is 2-3 days from now as well as an early departure time and you'll see all of the schedules and fares as I just did.
