LA FERROVIA DELLA VALSESIA - 140° ANNIVERSARIO
Ferrovia della Valsesia, tratta Novara-Varallo
In 2026, the historic Novara-Varallo railway line turns 140 years old. To celebrate this milestone, the Associazione Museo Ferroviario Valsesiano proposes a series of special runs with vintage trains along the entire route, which crosses the Novara countryside and climbs up the Valsesia to the gates of the Sacro Monte di Varallo, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Each date on the calendar is an opportunity to board century-old carriages and breathe in the atmosphere of early 20th-century travel. The highlight is the weekend of September 12 and 13, when the arrival of the historic train in Varallo will kick off two days of festivities with meetings, exhibitions, guided tours, and cultural initiatives dedicated to the railway and its relationship with the territory.
Dates: April 12, June 7, September 12-13, October 4, December 8, 2026 Times and fares: check the official website Reservation recommended Contacts: Associazione Museo Ferroviario Valsesiano Tel: 338 92 52 791 (information only, not for reservations) Email: info@museoferroviariovalsesiano.it Website: www.museoferroviariovalsesiano.it Facebook: @museoferroviariovalsesiano Calendar and times subject to possible changes or cancellations.
