About Arenaways

Arenaways is a private Italian rail operator that brought trains back to the Cuneo–Saluzzo–Savigliano line in Piedmont on 27 January 2025, after the route had been out of service for more than a decade. The service runs under a ten-year contract with the Piedmont Mobility Agency. The Arenaways brand has a pioneering history: it was the first private operator to enter Italy's passenger rail market back in 2010, and today the company is backed by shareholders including Renfe Proyectos Internacionales, part of Spanish national operator Renfe.

The fleet consists of modern three-car Pesa ATR 220 diesel trains refurbished in Arenaways' distinctive blue livery. Every train offers 155 fixed seats plus 4 foldable and 2 dedicated wheelchair spaces, air conditioning, power sockets, tables, luggage racks and space for strollers and bicycles. Since March 2025, all passengers enjoy free Wi-Fi and onboard entertainment through the Arenaways Connette infotainment system — a first for local rail connections in the region.

The line serves seven stations across southern Piedmont: Cuneo, Busca, Costigliole Saluzzo, Verzuolo, Manta, Saluzzo and Savigliano. Timetables are designed to connect with Italy's national rail network at Cuneo and Savigliano, opening up onward travel towards Turin and beyond, and a second line — Ceva–Ormea — is planned to reopen once infrastructure upgrades are completed. You can compare Arenaways times and fares and book your tickets on EuroTrain.

    Booking Tips

    Book Ahead or On the Day

    Arenaways tickets can be booked online in advance or on the day of travel — search live times and fares on EuroTrain to see what's available for your departure. Booking ahead secures your plans.

    No Validation, No Check-In

    Your digital ticket is valid only for the train you selected, so there is nothing to validate and no check-in. Just walk to the platform and board.

    Skip the €5 Onboard Surcharge

    Boarding without a ticket means buying one from onboard staff with a €5 surcharge per passenger, card payment only — and only if you notify staff as soon as you board. Booking online in advance avoids this entirely.

    Children Travel Cheaper

    Children under 4 travel free when accompanied by an adult and not occupying a seat. Children under 12 get a 50% discount on the full fare.

    Connecting to the National Network

    Arenaways timetables are coordinated with national rail services at Savigliano and Cuneo for onward travel towards Turin. Note that a separate ticket is required for connecting trains operated by other carriers — Arenaways tickets are not valid on Trenitalia services.
