European route E 62 is a road in Europe, part of the United Nations International E-road network. Approximately 1,307 kilometers (812 mi) long, it connects the French Atlantic port city of Nantes to Genoa, largest of Italy's port cities. Between France and Italy it also passes through Switzerland, via Geneva and Lausanne. After crossing into Italy (shortly after the Simplon Pass, the highest point on the European route network inside Europe), the E 62 passes Milan, Italy's largest commercial and industrial centre, before descending to Genoa on the Mediterranean coast.
