A refined journey through vineyards, rolling hills and outstanding flavours
The historic Milan–Alba train is designed for travellers who wish to discover the Langhe through an experience with a more refined character. Aboard the comfortable UICX coaches, featuring the elegance typical of the great long‑distance trains of the past — and, on selected dates, the iconic Arlecchino, a true jewel of Italian railway design — the journey unfolds slowly across landscapes that have become symbols of Piedmontese excellence.
Leaving Milan, the train glides through a succession of hills, vineyards and historic villages that anticipate the atmosphere of Alba, the capital of white truffle, fine wines and a gastronomic tradition renowned worldwide. Spacious interiors, comfortable seating and a charming vintage ambiance make the journey an integral part of the experience, offering a calmer and more contemplative dimension.
Once in Alba, each traveller can freely explore the region: seasonal markets, historic wine shops, artisan workshops, tastings and events dedicated to local products — a land that, at this time of year, expresses its most authentic soul.
