Train from Bellagio to Zurich
 
Just wanting some tips about getting to Zurich from Bellagio. Should we go back to Milan and go on an express train? Also wondering if the train routes are scenic, or lots of tunnels. We will be training from Zurich to Paris also. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

You should re-post this over on the Europe Forum. This one is more for general travel topics- not destination-specific questions. Many more members will see your thread there and be able to help you.

Have done this journey easy

DO NOT go back to Milan several hours of

backtracking and needless expense.

Hop the ferry for the 5 minute ride to Menaggio 5 euro

from the news shop on the square for 8 euro for me last

buy a ticket 15-20 minute shuttle to Lugano

will drop you off at the station hop on the next

train through Chur up to Zurich cheap easy piece of cake.

Have done it a bunch very pretty ride hop on and off it

time.... happy Journey,

seat61.com best training site do this a lot.

always do best with regional intercity DAY trains

cheaper better see a lot no nasty surcharges like

with tourist rip off train passes.

So train like a local for me for best experience.

Thanks for the info. Is there room for luggage on the regional trains?

Ya there will be enough space to keep your luggage, no need to worry about that!

"Ya there will be enough space to keep your luggage, no need to worry about that!"

Well, assuming you're packing light! You MUST be able to manage your luggage yourself, including getting it on and off the train quickly, and possibly up and down stairs.

Hi we r now in Bellagio. Plan to go to Zurich on Monday. Does the shuttle run frequently from mennagio to Lugano? And are there trains frequently to Zurich from Lugano? We are loving bellagio!
