THE MARKET

Omegna’s weekly market — the town’s weekly draw

The service leaves Oira at 09:35 and offers two return departures from Omegna, at 11:40 or 14:15, allowing you to decide on‑site which return to take.

THE VALUE

Simple, low‑cost local connection

The round‑trip tariff is €3.80, making this an inexpensive way to reach the market and return the same day.
