About the Verbania-Intra – Laveno crossing
The Piedmont-to-Lombardy direction: 42 sailings between 00.00 and 23.00, twenty minutes each.
Two fewer, half an hour earlier
Laveno sends 44 boats and runs to 23.30; Verbania Intra sends 42 and finishes at 23.00. The difference is where the vessels lie overnight rather than any imbalance in traffic — on a shuttle this frequent, the last crossing of the day belongs to whichever shore the boat sleeps on.
What it connects
Verbania is the largest town on the Piedmont shore and the gateway to the Val Grande national park; Laveno links onward to the Varese rail line. The crossing joins two provinces that the lake otherwise separates by an hour of driving.
