The old station of Ponte Nizza, located along the disused Voghera-Varzi railway, has been the subject of an important redevelopment project to become the "House of Tourists".

The Enrico Pessina Railway Museum in Voghera, located at the truck stop, preserves the memory of the historic Voghera-Varzi railway (1931-1966). The museum exhibits artifacts, images, and documents of the rural line that connected the Staffora Valley, often in collaboration with the former station ticket office.

Although renovated in the 15th century, the building still retains architectural elements that reveal its medieval origins. The façade features a portal preceded by a Renaissance portico. Inside are the remains of the martyred saint, patron saint of the picturesque village, once an independent municipality, now a hamlet of Ponte Nizza.

Now the "Voghera - Varzi" Greenway has finally been completely completed but unfortunately already interrupted due to bad weather and the Staffora river being full... a great shame!
