🔶 Not just the train journey
Part of the charm of the Trenino Verde lies in the journey time.
The landscape glides slowly past the window, offering a glimpse of a Sardinia far removed from the most popular tourist routes: small villages, mountains, woods and countryside that take on new colours and a different atmosphere in autumn.
With Esedra Escursioni, train journeys are complemented by on-board guides and guided tours, turning every trip into an opportunity to explore the destination.
This is the common thread linking the ten experiences: the train takes you to your destination, but it is the encounter with the places you visit that completes the journey.
