100 years of the Vigezzina-Centovalli Railway

Spanning a hundred valleys and a hundred years

Over the years, the Centovallina has served as an important link between the two nations, allowing travellers to admire breathtaking scenery along the way. Its centenary symbolises the tenacity and perseverance in the construction and maintenance of this extraordinary railway infrastructure, which continues to be a gem of European public transport.
