The LAGO MAGGIORE EXPRESS day trip from Locarno offers you an unforgettable journey by train and boat.

The Lago Maggiore Express (mid-April to mid-October) offers an unforgettable journey by rail and boat. The one-day excursion on Lake Maggiore and through the Centovalli and Valle Vigezzo, with a "ring" itinerary, the direction of which can also be reversed, can start from any of the villages along the entire route.

A day full of contrasts awaits you: you will travel through Italy and the southern part of Switzerland (Canton Ticino). You will sail
across Lake Maggiore admiring the Borromean Islands, the Castles of Cannero Riviera, the Brissago Islands, Ascona and reaching Locarno at the northern end of the lake. You will have the possibility to have lunch on board or a packed lunch.

With the picturesque narrow-gauge train of the Ferrovia Vigezzina-Centovalli you will cross one of the wildest and most romantic areas.

Afterwards, departing from Domodossola, you will return to Lake Maggiore with the 'TrenitaIia' and 'Trenord' trains.

Tickets can be obtained at the ticket offices of the companies on site and at other authorised points of sale.
