Visit the Borromean Islands, taste the wines of Monferrato, admire enchanting Lake Orta, and travel into Switzerland on the scenic Centovalli Railway.THE CENTOVALLI RAILWAYTHE CENTOVALLI RAILWAY, DAY 7With a name meaning 'One Hundred Valleys', taken from the many lush valleys through which the line threads, it's little surprise that the narrow-gauge Centovalli Railway is regarded as one of Europe's most beautiful railways. We cross dramatic bridges, pass incredible lakeside and valley scenery, and wind alongside thick forests and through sleepy villages during our journey to Locarno.Designed to connect Locarno in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland with Domodossola in the very north of Italy, the line dates back to 1923, after being delayed following the First World War. Today, it's a much-loved tourist attraction, offering a unique way to take in the scenery of the region. 48 ITALY"
