Vigezzina Centovalli Railway – The Foliage Train
The true magic of the Vigezzina Centovalli Railway comes alive most dramatically between October and November, when the route transforms into the spectacular “Foliage Train”.
There is a way of traveling that leaves a mark, not only in the memories of those who leave, but also in the lives of those who remain. I have always believed that tourism can be a positive force, capable of generating value for the territory and for the people who live there. That is why I have decided to get personally involved: starting this year, 1% of my annual turnover will be donated to the Crescere Insieme VCO association.
Crescere Insieme VCO is a wonderful organization founded by parents who fight every day to offer their children with disabilities new opportunities for independence, socialization, and growth. It is a young association, but one that is already capable of building bridges, creating networks, and giving hope. Supporting Crescere Insieme VCO means believing in a more inclusive future, where every child can find their place and their voice.
Every experience I create for my guests comes from my love for my land and my desire to share its authentic beauty. From today, choosing Isa La Guida will not only be a way to discover the hidden treasures of Lake Maggiore, but also a concrete gesture of solidarity. Every booking, every tour, every story shared together will help support projects that truly change the lives of many families in our area.
But that’s not all. When you book with Isa La Guida, you will also have the opportunity to contribute to a fundraiser entirely dedicated to La Chiave della Vita, a local association that is committed to concrete solidarity projects. A small gesture that can make a big difference, transforming your trip into an even more meaningful experience.
I believe that true luxury is being able to give something back, to leave a kind and lasting impression. My commitment is just the beginning: tourism can and must be a force for good, capable of uniting, including, and offering new possibilities. By choosing Isa La Guida, you are choosing to be part of this change.
Heartfelt thanks to those who wish to travel with me and, together, help Crescere Insieme VCO and La Chiave della Vita to grow even more.

There is a place, among the woods and mountains of Ossola, that preserves an ancient freshness and hidden charm: the Ornavasso marble quarry.

Mergozzo is a cozy village on the shores of a small, clear lake, surrounded by mountains that are reflected in the water and protect the town as if in an embrace.

Summer on Lake Maggiore is the best antidote to boredom, with a long list of events and festivals that combine music, good food, and fine wine. Here are my tips for a unique experience and enriching your holiday with new emotions and flavors.

When I guide my guests on private tours of Lake Maggiore, this is my goal: to give the gift of quality time, authentic emotions, and unforgettable moments. Every itinerary I create is a unique story, built by listening to the dreams and expectations of those who choose me.

Vitello Tonnato is a surprising combination of flavors, a recipe that reflects the creativity and love of good food typical of our region.
