North, South towards all of Switzerland, Milano

When you are at the train station, just walk to the right for some meters and then follow the way straight along the road Via Maestri Comacini for around 500 meters. When it makes a turn you'll recognize a lot of trucks. That's where you find the customs station (duane) and border controls. Walking over the parking area is possible, but take care of the security guys, they'll send you away from the ground for sure. Best is to stand at the ramp just after the truck drivers paid their duty. If you want to try it directly at the highway next to the border controls, walk down the little slip road for some 50 meters, and you'll find a trap that brings you up to the highway. Platschi was send away there from some cops, but nevertheless it's possible. Good luck :)
