Driving to the Lago Maggiore

After spending two days with Christoph and is family in Heidelberg we headed south across the Alps to the Lago Maggiore. Andreas, Janine and Caroline were already staying there for a week in a holiday apartment in Verbania and we had booked a hotel nearby to join them for a few days.


First we had to cross Switzerland and go through the Gotthard tunnel which is 16 km long and has only one lane. It took one hour just to enter because there is always a lot of traffic



Halfway in the tunnel it was really hot - luckily the car has AC

To get to Verania we had to drive along some country roads

It was worth the drive - a beautiful place and our hotel was nice as well


When we arrived in the late afternoon it was pretty hot and sticky but later some clouds came in


Enjoying the view
