The most scenic option is to travel by rail between the lakes, choosing trains with lake view cars when possible. High-speed train lines connect Milan to Lake Como and Lake Garda. From Milan or Verona, regional trains run to Lake Garda with stops in towns like Desenzano del Garda. For Lake Maggiore, the fast trains stop at Arona. Driving also allows flexibility for stopping at small towns, taking ferries, and accessing more remote nature access points.
