By train
 Chiavenna is reachable by trains departing from Milano (Centrale Railway Station) and Bergamo, usually with a change in Colico. The journey Milano-Chiavenna takes about 2 hours while the Bergamo-Chiavenna one a little more.
Information about train timetables are available on State Railways website:

By car
 Chiavenna is not so far from many places in central Europe, so some of you may think to come by car. The Milano area is usually crowded, as well as the roads around the Como lake, so it is better not to plan to cross over Milano. Probably the simplest way to arrive by car is by Lugano lake and Porlezza lake (low altitude and little snow). In warm winters it is possible to directly arrive through the Maloja and maybe the Splugen passes.
It's also possible to rent a private car outside every airport and railway station. All the major companies (Europcar, Avis, Hertz, ecc) have an agency and all information needed for renting can be found at their web sites.
By bus
 Chiavenna is connected to nearby cities by some bus lines, and information about those services are available on Lombardy website:
http://www.infopoint.it/trl_index.htm
Anyway, the easiest and fastest way to reach Chiavenna is by train.
Milano, however, is reachable also by busses coming from many European countries and cities. Information are available f.e. at www.eurolines.com
