“Great slides and with the nice weather, there was never any waiting in line.”
“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.”
“The driver was very pleasant and helpful.”
“I had a great time taking part in this outdoor activity and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. I felt safe thanks to the professional coaches who gave clear instructions and patiently taught me how to use the equipment. The gear was in excellent condition, and the whole activity was fun, safe, and well organized. I would definitely recommend it.”
“I loved the canyon swing. It felt like a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. The team were friendly and helpful, kept me calm when I started to panic, and gave me a little push to finally get off. Thank you.”
