Rablà Train World

A fascinating miniature kingdom awaits you at the Rablà Train World (Eisenbahnwelt Rabland) near Parcines. Across 1,000 sqm, you can marvel at detailed replicas of South Tyrolean landscapes, buildings, and trains, including the Val Venosta Railway. The Train World's story began in 2004 with Dr Gunther Steitz's proposal to exhibit his extensive model railway collection in the barn of the Hotel Restaurant Hanswirt in Rablà. After the barn's reconstruction, the construction of the South Tyrol layout was commissioned, and this popular destination opened in the summer of 2009.

800 metres of track, 70 trains, 400 vehicles, 12,000 figures, and an impressive day-night simulation are sure to thrill railway enthusiasts. The exhibition is one of the largest private collections of Europe and at the same time the largest digitalised model train exhibition of Italy.

On the first floor, you'll find South Tyrol in miniature (1:87 scale). The offering is complemented by the fantasy world "Mittelgebirge" (Low Mountain Range) and a children's corner where kids can play engine driver and control a train. In the Train World's online shop, you can purchase souvenirs such as South Tyrol buses and a special H0 scale model of the Val Venosta Railway.

How to get there: The Rablà Train World is located in the centre of Rablà and has its own car park. You can also easily reach it by bicycle via the Val Venosta Cycle Path or by public transport, more precisely by the Val Venosta Railway (train stop Rablà, 10 minutes on foot).
