Un viaggio di circa 2 ore molto emozionante: si possono ammirare tantissime cascatelle, dirupi, boschi, il corso di torrenti, il tutto visto dall'alto della ferrovia che corre tra i monti. Obbligatorio prenotare, soprattutto nei periodi di maggiore affluenza.

Eine spezielle Attraktion in allen Ehren, aber als wir den Preis p./P. für diese gesehen haben, haben wir gleich darauf verzichtet. Bleibt zu erwähnen, dass das SBB GA und die Tageskarten auch auf diesem Streckennetz bis Domodossola gültig sind. Also kann man sich da wesentlich günstiger selber behelfen.
