Direct transport Italy – Switzerland
The Italy–Switzerland lane is one of Europe's key trade corridors. CityFreight runs this route as a dedicated direct transport: your vehicle is loaded once and travels straight to the consignee – no transhipment, no groupage stops, no detours – with GPS tracking across the entire journey.
From a Sprinter van for urgent part loads to an articulated truck with 33 pallet spaces, we select the vehicle that matches your consignment. You receive a fixed price and a realistic delivery date up front – no surprises, no hidden surcharges.
Italy–Switzerland runs via the Gotthard or San Bernardino from Lombardy into the Swiss economic region. The flow of goods comprises pharmaceuticals and precision goods, machinery, fashion, and food. As a non-EU country, Switzerland requires customs clearance at the border, levies the LSVA, and enforces a nighttime driving ban; the Gotthard is also subject to metering with possible waiting times. We plan for these factors. For the affluent Swiss market with tight time windows, the direct run without transshipment is especially well suited.
How long does a direct transport from Italy to Switzerland take?
On the Mailand–Zürich lane (approx. 280 km), pure driving time is approx. 4–5 hrs pure driving time. As a direct run without transhipment, your shipment arrives considerably faster than by groupage – with a two-driver crew running non-stop on request.
How much does a direct transport Italy–Switzerland cost?
The price depends on vehicle size, timing and availability on the corridor. We quote you a binding fixed price up front – with no hidden surcharges. Simply request a quote with your key shipment details.
