More than just a train ride, this route is a passage through a living landscape—raw, powerful, and breathtakingly beautiful.
As the train winds through the Centovalli, or “Valley of a Hundred Valleys,” passengers are immersed in a constantly shifting panorama of nature’s most striking contrasts. Steep ravines and forested slopes alternate with delicate stone bridges and quiet hamlets clinging to the hillsides. Shimmering waterfalls tumble down rock faces, while sunlit meadows and chestnut groves create bursts of color between the shadows of towering cliffs.
The journey is marked by intimacy and discovery. Along the way, you’ll pass through remote alpine villages where time seems to slow down—places where slate-roofed houses, ancient chapels, and terraced vineyards whisper stories of mountain life and age-old traditions. Each curve in the track offers a new perspective, inviting you to look closer, breathe deeper, and connect with the rhythm of the landscape.
This is a route that blends rugged grandeur with quiet charm, offering a rare chance to explore a lesser-known side of Switzerland far from the usual tourist paths. The train’s leisurely pace allows for deep appreciation of the journey itself—an ever-changing canvas of light, color, and terrain that captures the wild soul of the Alps.
