The Vigezzina-Centovalli Railway is tinged with the colours of spring!

  The Centovallina railway is preparing to celebrate the reawakening of nature with a new, lively promotional initiative: the “Colours of Spring” campaign, designed to accompany the complete reopening of the route and to invite travellers and tourists to rediscover the natural and cultural treasures along the route linking Switzerland and Italy. At the centre of the campaign is a simple and immediate symbol: a large flower with eight petals, each characterised by a different colour, representing a specific experience or place to be discovered.
