TASIS Teens Summer Programs — Switzerland

Milan Malpensa Airport

We offer fre airport pick-up and drop-off during designated dates/times at MXP.

Driving to campus

Families driving take the A2 motorway and leave at the Lugano-Sud exit, turning left at the first lights towards Ponte Tresa, then left onto Via Paradiso and up the winding hill; after the Tamoil gas station turn left, then left again onto Via Collina d'Oro towards Montagnola/Agra. Follow the road through Gentilino, pass the Sant'Abbondio church and take the sharp switchback right, where the white wall reading The American School in Switzerland appears on your left. Park in the School's own lot immediately after the main gate, or in the public blue-zone spaces opposite, which allow one hour with a parking disc. Note that a Swiss motorway toll sticker is required to drive on Swiss highways. · TASIS The American School In Switzerland, Via Collina d'Oro 15, 6926 Montagnola, Switzerland

Milan Malpensa Airport

Pickup service · Malpensa is the nearest major international airport for families arriving from further afield, and it's TASIS's pickup point: if a student is arriving alone (without a parent or other responsible adult), a TASIS staff member meets them here. TILO train connections also run from the airport through to Lugano train station, from where the campus is a short taxi or Posta Bus ride away.

Lugano train station

Lugano is easy to reach by rail: the fast Inter City from Milan takes about an hour (regional trains from Milano Centrale or Porta Garibaldi up to 110 minutes and may involve a change), while direct IC trains from Zurich run roughly every hour and take approximately two hours. Lugano town sits about fifteen minutes from campus.

436 Posta Bus to Certenago Paese

From Lugano train station or the Autosilo Balestra stop, the 436 Posta Bus climbs to the Collina d'Oro roughly every 30 minutes between 06:00 and 23:00. The stop for TASIS is called Certenago Paese, a short walk from the campus gate.
