Travel Switzerland and Italy do not miss the sightseeing train Centovalli Railway
Switzerland is known as one of the most beautiful sightseeing trains in the world. Coming to Switzerland, you should not miss the opportunity to make an interesting experience of watching the beautiful and majestic scenery from the trains. In this article, explore Centovalli - the most beautiful sightseeing train in Switzerland.
Of the 5 most famous sightseeing train routes of Switzerland, this is the shortest route, less than 60 km. This railway connects the town of Domodossola in Northern Italy to Locarno in the southern state of Ticino. Trains on this railway line will pass through the Vigezzo valley and the Centovalli region (Centovalli means 100 valleys) with 83 bridges, 31 tunnels and along many waterfalls as it passes through the narrow valleys in the area. .


Domodossola is only about 1 hour and 25 minutes - 1 hour and 45 minutes from Milan by train. From Domodossola to Brig also takes less than 40 minutes, from which you can continue to Zermatt, Montreux/Geneva or Spiez/Interlaken/Bern.
Locarno is a lovely town on Maggiore Lake, very close to Ascona, Bellinzona and Lugano. Sitting by the lake in Locarno, you will find yourself surrounded by the Alps. At Locarno, you can find a floating restaurant by the lake while sipping dishes, watching the lake and the surrounding mountains. There is also a beautiful lakeside road, quite suitable for walking after meals.
In addition, you can also board a street train - a small "train" type of tourists carrying around the old town. Locarno has a lot to see. If you have time, you can visit the church of Madonna del Sasso or take the cable car up Mount Cardada and Mount Cimetta. Around Locarno there are also many beautiful places to go on a trip like Ascona, Verzasca Dam or the Maggiore lakeside villages. From Domodossola to Locarno (or vice versa) with 2 hours on the train, you will come across a lot of deep canyons, towering bridges, waterfalls along the way and pretty small villages with stone houses. . The Centovalli route is less known than the remaining famous routes. Perhaps because it's not "photogenic" by other routes, but firsthand, the scenery in Centovalli is extremely impressive. The whole region is full of mountains and rivers, valleys connecting valleys, bridges ... You will feel that humans are so small in front of nature, but also great for conquering it.
Trains between Domodossola and Locarno are generally direct trains (no exchange of trains). There are two types of trains that follow this route: the Treno Panoramico Vigezzo Vision and the Centovalli Express. On board Treno Panoramico Vigezzo Vision has panoramic carriages (panoramic carriages) with wide glass doors. And on the Centovalli Express, there's no such train. In particular, Treno Panoramico Vigezzo Vision also provides a special seat next to the driver in the first wagon, which is great for photographers and videographers! Both trains run quite slowly, but create an interesting experience to attract vision and take photos. Snacks and drinks can be purchased on board. To take the train you can book in advance or buy tickets directly at the station.
You can find train times and trains and book tickets online with the SBB app or on the SBB website (SBB is the Swiss Federal Railway Company), remember to search for "Domodossola (I)" and "Locarno FART" ”For departure and destination (or vice versa) as this train uses a narrow track so travel from another part of the station. Ticket price: CHF 22 / afternoon and CHF 44 / roundtrip. The Treno Panoramico Vigezzo Vision will have a very small additional charge (surcharge) of about 1.5 euros, which you can pay at the station or on the train. When searching for ships on SBB you can see this information.
You can experience this train in any season if it is not foggy and clear enough to admire. However, with some waterfalls along the route, the spring time (late March to mid June) can create a very enjoyable experience. Winters are usually less interesting because the area doesn't usually have much snow and instead there may be some rainy and cloudy days. Sightseeing on the Centovalli train is really an interesting experience that you should try when traveling Italy and Switzerland. Do not miss this activity when traveling in these 2 beautiful countries. Source: cattour #$gnal$#
