From northern Europe and the northern and western parts of Switzerland the Lago Maggiore region can be reached by using the international railway line Basel-Milano, with the direct trains Intercity and Cisalpino. If there are no direct connections available, it is necessary to change trains at Bellinzona for direction Locarno.
From Domodossola, following the international Simplon-line, the narrow gauge train “Centovalli” offers a particularly romantic journey. With the railway line from Milano-Centrale via Como there are connections to the Ticino from every part of Mediterranean Europe with the Intercity trains as well as the fast train Cisalpino.
