LOCARNO - SANTA MARIA MAGGIORE - DOMODOSSOLA
Morning departure from the chosen location to Lake Maggiore via Como. Arrival in Locarno and brief free tour of this beautiful town: the famous Piazza Grande, the quaint old town with its narrow streets, the Rococo-style church dedicated to the Virgin of the Assumption, and the Visconti Castle, which houses an archaeological museum inside. At the end, departure on the Centovalli Train. The route passes through picturesque landscapes dominated by wild mountains, streams and waterfalls along a route formed by 83 bridges and 31 tunnels. Completely surrounded by nature, this track offers passengers the opportunity to observe breathtaking views up close. Stop at Santa Maria Maggiore, a precious jewel box set in the Vigezzo Valley. Free tour of Piedmont's largest Christmas Market with more than 200 booths set up in the narrow streets and small squares of the historic center. In addition to admiring and purchasing original gift ideas, all strictly handmade, you will have the opportunity to admire the entire village dressed up with many decorations that will enhance the already picturesque corners of this snowy mountain village. The warmth of stoves made from logs all along the market route, the scent of chestnuts and music will make your day in Santa Maria Maggiore a pleasant one. Free lunch.
