A journey by rail that transforms the journey to France into the first chapter of a fairy tale. Thanks to the renewal of the partnership between Caroline Chabrol (General Director of SNCF Voyages Italia), Patricia Miranda Villar (Director of Legal Affairs, Regulation and Compliance of the company) and Monica Astuti (Country Head of Disneyland Paris for Italy), the exclusive TGV INOUI train entirely themed on the world of Frozen was presented at Milan Porta Garibaldi station. The initiative was created to celebrate the inauguration of the new World of Frozen thematic area inside the French Disneyland Paris amusement park, giving families and children a unique visual and culinary experience along the transalpine route.

Exteriors and on-board services dedicated to the Kingdom of Arendelle
The set-up of the train starts from the outside, where a special livery stands out covered with images of the characters from the animated saga, from Elsa and Anna to the snowman Olaf. In the internal compartments, travelers find personalized graphics, reclining seats, individual electrical outlets and free Wi-Fi. The multilingual entertainment platform offers films, documentaries and content designed specifically for children.
The gastronomic offer of the Caffè Centrale bar car and the trolley service in the corridor also adapt to the event: the Italian-French menu – which includes organic, vegan and vegetarian options with 70% local supplies – includes exclusive desserts dedicated to the universe of the film. The on-board facilities are completed by nursery areas and spaces dedicated to families.
