This itinerary follows the route of the old railway which from 1884 to 1939 connected Menaggio with Porlezza on Lake Lugano. The route develops in Val Menaggio, mostly on asphalted surfaces and touches the Lago di Piano nature reserve. Please note that some short sections take place along roads open to car traffic.

The railway line between Menaggio and Porlezza, inaugurated in 1884, was created with the aim of increasing northern European tourism towards the lake region. Arriving by train in Lugano, the passengers continued by steamer to Porlezza and from there by train to Menaggio. Between the two world wars, until 1939, the railway line was used as a local transport system, for the transport of wood from the forests of Monte Galbiga and the ice of Lake Piano, and then fell into abandonment at the end of the Second World War .

One of the evocative stretches of the old railway route which from 1884 to 1939 connected Menaggio with Porlezza (on Lake Lugano).

The route develops in Val Menaggio, mostly on asphalted surfaces, and touches the “Lago di Piano” nature reserve.
