Comment
The Ceneri Base Tunnel is a railway base tunnel in Canton Ticino, Switzerland. It passes under Monte Ceneri between Camorino in the Magadino Flat and Vezia near Lugano, and bypasses the former high-altitude rail route through the Monte Ceneri Tunnel. It is composed of two single-track tunnels, each 15.4 km long.© Swissmint
