By train, where you never thought you’d go. The blue of the lakes, the green of the woods and mountains, the adrenaline of sports and adventure, the charm of a trip to cities of art and hidden villages. These are the proposals of “Gite in treno”, the Trenord initiative aimed at slow tourism that will allow you to discover the hidden and less hidden treasures of Lombardy through sweet mobility.
Five categories of itineraries are proposed – Lakes, Train&Bike, Train&Trekking, Cities of Art, Entertainment – which will also be promoted by Lonely Planet; a forthcoming guide will escort travellers through Lombardy’s most beautiful tourist locations that can be reached by train.
