Domodossola–Milan railway

The Domodossola–Milan railway line is a major Italian railway route and an important part of the European rail network. It is one of Italy's busiest lines for both passenger and freight trains. The line connects Milan and Domodossola with Brig, an important Swiss railway junction, via the Simplon Tunnel.

The line runs through lower Varese Province, the valley of Ossola and along the shore of Lake Maggiore.
