LAGO MAGGIORE E VALLI Nostalgia on the railways There should be a hundred valleys here, at least if you translate “Centovalli” word for word, although someone has exaggerated a little. However, the promise of the “Centovalli Railway” has not been overstated. It leads through a romantic, adventurous stretch, through ravines and over viaducts, to Domodossola in Italy, and is certainly the most comfortable way to discover the spec- IN CENTOVALLI, THE RAILWAY WHICH TRAVELS PAST THE HIGHEST CHURCH TOWER IN TICINO LEADS BACK TO ANOTHER TIME. All aboard for a comfortable discovery of the wilds of the Centovalli region. 28 tacular Centovalli region, which looks the same as it has since the dawn of time. FUNICULAR OVER THE WATERFALL Most passengers only notice that small funiculars lead up to high, isolated mountain pastures and hamlets in the steep, densely wooded valley from the corner of their eye. However, for those who make the journey into picturesque Verdasio, climb into the little funicular to Rasa and let themselves be carried over the dizzying heights of the deep gorge of Melezza, over the waterfall, can experience the full power of the Centovalli region. Of course, here there are innumerable possibilities for hiking. In particular, the area around Intragna with the highest church tower in Ticino (65 metres) is a walker’s paradise. However, the best route leads along the Northern side of the valley from Intragna through Costa and Monti di Comino to Verdasio.
“On summer evenings we can hear singing from afar” FOR VISITORS TO THE MONASTERY MADONNA DEL SASSO, BROTHER AGOSTINO RECOMMENDS THE PROFOUND ATMOSPHERE OF THE CHURCH. Brother Agostino, what is your favourite time of day in Madonna del Sasso? In the morning, when it’s still quiet and the rising sun shines through the glass windows of the choir in the church. Do you sometimes think: Oh, isn’t it beautiful to live here? That happens at night, when everything is still up here. Or on a summer evening, when we can hear the singing of the Carmelite nuns from afar. How do the monks relate to the hustle and bustle of tourism? We only come across visitors who come to see the view or the monastery by chance. If they show respect, they are very welcome. Should the monastery still be open for tourists? Tourists are also people, first and foremost. And we are here for people who need us. However, too much disturbance during the services is not wholesome. What should a visitor to Madonna del Sasso not miss out on? The atmosphere of the church. He should breathe in this profound atmosphere while seated, or kneeling, because in the 29 church there is a half-light, almost like in a basilica from the Orient. The Pietà (religious statue) in the courtyard, the statue of the Virgin Mary at the main altar and the many religious scenes painted on the walls are also very interesting. He loves the early hours of the morning: Brother Agostino from the monastery Madonna del Sasso. LAGO MAGGIORE E VALLI
