Geneva to Lake Como

Because a lot of the trip is through mountainous regions we used the main motorways. We probably travelled through at least 30 kilometres of tunnels one which is 11 kilometres.

There were 2 sections of toll roads in France and it seemed the bulk of travel in Italy was on toll roads. Total cost $130. Now having to pay $55 for the windshield sticker in Switzerland looks very reasonable.

The motorways do a good job moving people but are not great for sight seeing. However, that changed the moment we got to Lake Como.

The road along the lake is built into the hillside as well as most of the houses. It is somewhat like the Amalfi coast but the road is a little better with less elevation changes. However there were still numerous situations when the road was narrower than 2 vehicles so it was one way at a time. The views are quite incredible.

The GPS did a pretty good job at finding the hotel which is higher up on the hillside. The bonus is that there is a very nice pool.
