PETROL STATION on both sides of A8 (connected by pedestrian tunnel) - BADLY PINNED! it's2km from Gazzada-Schianno train station (5 min from Varese, about 1 hour 10 from Milano Porta Garibaldi station, 5.30).
From Gazzada station, make your way to via Roma (it's 200m, ask locals) and then walk it heading south = downhill! after few roundabouts, when houses and warehouses are finished, 500m after the BRUNELLO village sign, you'll find the entrance to the petrol station on your right - and you'll be on the side headed to Varese and Switzerland.
Decent amount of cars stop here but Varese people are quite suspitious - took me more than one hour both the times I started from there, both times I was directed south O_O
good luck! :-)

We were heading to Varese so it took us some time. It appears MANY cars go to Como so that should be quite an easy route to take...―Thejourneyramino, July 2014
