What is Trenino Verde?
The green train is a tourist service that allows the nature-loving tourist to visit suggestive and uncontaminated areas in the central part of the island. Not only is there the chance to witness enchanting panoramas but also to taste a little bit of history by travelling in a steam or diesel locomotive. There are two ways to travel on the train:
By booking: Throughout the year, by booking the train in groups, associations or researchers, it is possible to choose itineraries, stops, the number of wagons required and even which train you wish to travel on.
By calendar: dDuring the period from mid-June to mid-September you can travel simply by buying a ticket at one of the ticket agencies or at the station and climbing aboard any of the trains that depart daily along the tourist line
Its History
The line on which the train runs was the fruit of a project by Cavour and was subsequently made executive by the Depretis act in 1879, which financed the installation of small trains to be used in the political-economic development of the iron and wood industries. Following this, the transport was used to connect the coastline to the centre of the island to aid the economic growth of the inner zones of the island (Mandas, Sorgono Sadali, etc.). From the mid-nineties the "Green train of Sardinia" project was born to use this type of locomotion (at this point in time rendered obsolete) for tourism.
