How to reach the lake

Air
If you come to Italy by air and you land to the Malpensa airport, that's about 80 km southeast of the lake. You can take the bus for Gallarate and then the train for Arona/Stresa/Verbania. In Verbania you can take the bus for Omegna

Train
Omegna is the only town directly linked to the railway: starting from Arona you have to join Borgomanero and then Omegna

Car
The A8/A26 highways from the south links Milano and Varese to the lake, the right exit is Gravellona Toce. However the suggestion is to use the public resources (train, bus and boat) to visit the lake due to the traffic and the parking desease.
