Journey Features
Good to Know
This daily direct train from Lyon Part-Dieu station to Milano is usually scheduled to depart at around 08:31.
Note that on this particular journey, you will be travelling on a high speed train, but not on any high speed lines.
For technical reasons, the TGV trains can't use the high speed line between Torino and Milano, so they have to stick to the older route - hence they are able to call at Novara.
Final Destination: Milano Porta Garibaldi (Milano P. G.)
This train also calls at: Torino Porta Susa and Novara
Type of Scenery: Mountain
Star Rating: **
This train travels through The Alps on either side of the France/Italy border - as it follows the Mont-Cenis route.
The best of the views are from the left of the train - when facing the direction of travel, so hope that your assigned seat(s) is on that side of the train.
Note that this train arrives at Milano Porta Garibaldi station and NOT Milano Centrale, which is where the majority of long distance trains between Milano and other cities in Italy depart from.
Therefore the best option for onward connections to many other Italian cities including Firenze/Florence, Rome, Napoli, Verona and Venezia/Venice, can be changing trains at Torino Porta Susa station.
