Trenord/TrenItalia from Milano Centrale to Stresa in mid June

Posted by on

Hi there,
We're have an 8 day trip planned in mid June, 2 days in Milano, 3 days in Roma, and 3 days in Stresa on Lago Maggiore. I've found no issues booking high speed trains from MXP-Milano Centrale, Milano to Roma, and Roma back to Milano. Where I'm running into some trouble is from Milano Centrale to Stresa and from Stresa to MXP. I know Trenord operates a regional line that's about every hour, but the website is not showing any options past June 8th? We're coming from Roma to Milano to Stresa on June 16th.
Unsure if this is due to a summer schedule not being published yet?

Any advice or guidance on Trenord (or alternatives) from Milano to Stresa for June 16th would certainly be appreciated!
Happy to take any solid trattoria or ristorante recommendations for our three stops as well.
Thanks very much!

Rail line between Arona and Stresa will be shut down for reconstruction project beginning June 9, which means there will be no trains running between Milan and Stresa. Stay tuned for more information regarding train replacement buses.

Thanks, Sam! Any advice on relying on a replacement bus vs. renting a car in Milan vs. private taxi/rideshare service?

No advice for that. Italy is always slow updating these things until they actually happen, meaning it could be right up until June 9 before any further information is available. You could take a boat from Arona to Stresa.

There will be busses. That regional timetables only get published close to the actual travel date is normal.
From Stresa to Malpensa I would take the bus. There are direct buses that are not affected by the works. You can find those linked on the Malpensa Airport website.
