Centovalli Railway: Locarno to Domodossola Rail Journey Itinerary

This scenic journey follows Locarno – Intragna – Santa Maria Maggiore – Domodossola and centres on cross-border valleys. From the Locarno side, the railway moves through the Centovalli towards the Italian Vigezzo valley before descending to Domodossola. The succession of small settlements and wooded slopes creates the character of the ride. Plan the rail portion first, then add independent time at the destination where the booked service allows it. Confirm the dated route, seating and return or onward arrangements before committing to the rest of the day.
