To the east are Torrent Alto (just under 3000 meters above sea level) and the somewhat lower Pizzo di Claro. The Riviera district is bordered to the east by Graubünden.

“The landscape, the railway's route, and the old town of Domodossola are all amazing. However, in train operations, there’s often some improvisation. While it has its charm, there’s definitely room for improvement.”
“It was a great experience, and the guide Raquel was super knowledgeable and friendly.”
“Great slides and with the nice weather, there was never any waiting in line.”
