The Monza–Molteno–Lecco railway is a railway line in Lombardy, Italy.

The section from Molteno to Lecco was opened on 20 November 1888 as a part of the Como–Lecco railway. The section from Monza to Molteno was opened as a private railway on 14 October 1911.[1]

In the section from Monza to Molteno the only train service is the "S7 Milano-Monza-Molteno-Lecco"[2] line of Milan suburban railway service; in the section from Molteno to Lecco is also present another regional service train connecting Como and Lecco.

Monza is connected to Lecco even with another railway, the main railway Milano-Monza-Carnate-Lecco, more short and faster with a large number of trains; Monza-Molteno-Lecco train ("Treno dei Tre Parchi", Train of the Three Parks)[3] runs through a more long, slow way across the hilly area of Brianza - Colli Briantei - the countryside, near lots of beautiful natural places like meadows, torrents and rivers, woods, fields, small lake and high mountains close to Lecco, and old small towns with nobiliar palaces and places of hystory, culture, art.
