  Lake ferries on full timetable

  1 apr – 15 okt · vanligtvisSommarsäsongen öppnar

  Como, Maggiore and Garda run the full public boat timetable from around Easter to mid-October, which is what makes the lakes a day out from Milan rather than a drive. Winter service is a skeleton. Källa ↗

  15 nov – 28 feb · vanligtvisVintersmog

  The valley sits under the Alps with nowhere for the air to go, so still cold weeks stack particulate up until the region bans the oldest cars. In midwinter it is the air, not the weather, that decides the day. Källa ↗
