This round trip combines impressive natural spectacles, famous sights, and travel on the Centovalli railway and the Lago Maggiore boat.

Step aboard, change mode of transport and take a rest is the motto of this round trip on the Lago Maggiore Express. Choose between a one-day and two-day ticket and plan the trip according to your taste. Disembark on the way in order to stay a night and continue the round trip the next day. You can commence this round trip at various locations and travel in the reverse direction.

The journey captivates with its rich contrasts. The Centovalli railway runs for 1.5 hours from Locarno to Domodossola (Italy) through the wildly romantic Hundred Valleys, across flower meadows and dizzyingly high bridges, past waterfalls, and through vineyards and chestnut forests. Travel on the Italian railway from Domodossola to Stresa (Italy) in order to board the boat there. Glide across the whole of Lago Maggiore for three hours, visiting the famous Borromean Islands, Castelli di Cannero or the Brissago Islands on the way.
