We are are currently on lake Lugano and want to visit Bellagio. The plan was to drop the van on the other side and take the scooter across on the ferry from Menaggio to Bellagio but I'm struggling to find time tables and I heard there were only a couple of sailings a day which can't be right.
There is a website but I'm using my iPhone and it won't open it.
Can anyone help?

Can't comment on the ferries Barry, other than to say stick with your plan.
We stayed at a wonderful B&B (Silvio, more of a restaurant with rooms, fresh fish from the lake every day) just outside of Bellagio a few years ago before we got the motorhome. I actually drove up from Como town to Bellagio in my car, and can say with some confidence that it's the most terrifying road I've ever driven along. No dramatic drops or anything to contend with, just a hard rock face, narrow/winding road and manic Italian drivers. Mrs R probably suffered most, facing the oncoming traffic as it took our road space, especially when we met buses & coaches (concept of slowing down doesn't appeal to our Italian friends). Whatever you do, don't take the motorhome up there.
Bellagio itself is a nice enough place, but a bit swanky for our tastes.
We stayed in Bellagio last year and had a fab time, but we were in a hotel not with the bus.
The ferries were fairly frequent and very good generally.
A previous poster has given times. Bellagio is very pretty and well worth wandering around, as is Varenna which if anything is prettier by the shoreline.

Just be careful with the timetable above. It is a bit confusing but I think most of the crossings are foot passenger only.
As far as I can make out, the only times with vehicles are:-
Bellagio to Mennagio:-
6.20
7.40
11.55
12.35
13.45
Barry from the link I gave you above you can choose with transportation as an option. Here are some for tomorrow.

Thanks ever so much Sonja and everyone for going to such trouble. That is the site I was having trouble with on the iPhone but strangly your link works but not very well.
It would seem if we take the bike we are a bit stuffed as there is very little choice with the first sailing we can probably make being the 12:15 to bellagio but having to come back just over an hour after arrival at 13:45 or 8 at night! Seems a bit daft
however should we just go as foot passengers to both varenna and bellagio and leave the bike at the port? Are the ports right in the centre of both towns and is there much walking involved as I don't know from day to day what my foot will be like.
Sounds worth seeing though.
Motormouth. Could take the dinghy. I just rowed it from Italy to Switzerland and back! Didn't get a vignette though.

Thanks again. That sounds like a plan then. Leave the scooter then there is loads of ferry options.
We did think about stopping the weekend around menaggio but I don't know if there are any sites or sostas in the area. Como doest appear to be too mh friendly unless you chaps know otherwise.
