Departure by coach to Domodossola. Arrival in Domodossola and departure for the Centovalli train experience to discover the hidden nooks and crannies and villages between the Ticino and Ossola valleys.The little train of the Val Vigezzo or Centovalli, inaugurated in 1923, runs along a 52-kilometer route from Domodossola to Locarno on narrow-gauge tracks. It will traverse for an hour and a half a wild and romantic territory in which vertiginous bridges, water streams, vineyards, chestnut forests and villages perched on slopes alternate. The sunken Centovalli where the river creeps through deep ravines introduces the Italian Val Vigezzo renowned as the valley of painters and chimney sweeps. The trail, which reaches an elevation of 800 meters above sea level, offers glimpses of rural life and beautiful mountain views. It is an opportunity to observe the different villages from the window. A stop in the small village of Santa Maria Maggiore is planned for a visit to the shrine and lunch break. After the lunch break we depart for Locarno. Arrival in Locarno meet the coach for the return journey to Verona
