On the road

About this drive

Embark on a real-time scenic drive from the shores of Lake Como, Italy, through charming lakeside villages and into the peaceful countryside of northern Italy — with a cross-border detour through Switzerland.

This journey follows the beautiful SS340 coastal road past Lenno and Tremezzo, before climbing into the hills, crossing the Swiss border via Chiasso, cruising along the A2 motorway, and returning to Italy near Mendrisio — all captured from the driver’s seat.

🛣️ Enjoy the curves of Italy’s lakefront roads, hillside tunnels, Alpine transitions, and quiet townscapes, in a relaxed, uninterrupted driving experience.
