Take a snowy ride on the Corno Express

How it works: one trip, two experiences

The system remains the same one that has made Corno Express so appreciated over the years: you purchase the package online and collect your tickets and vouchers at the eXtraBO Infopoint or at the station.

At 7:17 your train leaves from Bologna Centrale and arrives in Porretta Terme at 8:32. Here, a bus awaits you and takes you to Corno alle Scale in about an hour. By 9:50 you are already up in the mountains: skis or snowshoes on, your day can begin!

The return trip is just as simple: bus at 17:10, train at 18:32… By 19:43 you’re back in the city!

The Snowshoeing Package

Snowshoeing is also a fascinating way to discover Corno alle Scale in winter.

The package includes:

• Round-trip train ticket Bologna Centrale – Porretta Terme and bus ticket Porretta Terme – Corno alle Scale
• Guided snowshoe hike with an Environmental Hiking Guide, following an approximately 10 km itinerary through snowy forests, panoramic ridges, and breathtaking lakes.
• 10% discount voucher for overnight stays in selected accommodations
• Thursdays only: voucher for lunch in a mountain hut (excluding the period 24/12 – 6/1)

The snowshoe hike departs every Thursday and Saturday at 10:15, immediately after the arrival of the bus: the guide will be waiting for you at the stop.

If you already have your own snowshoes, you can join without any issue; if you need them, you can request them through the package and rent them on-site at a dedicated price.
