Archives: FAQs
Can we leave from Treignes? Or a station along the way?
This depends on the sanitary protocol in force on the day of your visit. As explained elsewhere, it is advisable to book online. If you have any questions, please call us on +32 (0)60 31 24 40.
What’s the difference between #CFV3V and #MCFV3V?
Apart from the letter M, which changes, the acronym CFV3V stands for Chemin de Fer à Vapeur des 3 Vallées, the association that operates railroad line 132 between Mariembourg and Treignes, in other words, steam and diesel trains.
The acronym MCFV3V stands for Musée du Chemin de Fer à Vapeur des 3 Vallées. The museum’s management association looks after the museum and the exhibition of locomotives, carriages, vans and other railway and industrial equipment on display at Treignes.
The 2 associations are quite distinct from each other, even if on a day-to-day basis they collaborate and work together to safeguard our railway heritage.
I have a coupon. I can’t apply the code when booking online. What to do?
Some vouchers or discount codes may not be taken into account when booking online. In that case, give us a call and we’ll take your reservation over the phone. Don’t forget to present your discount at the ticket office. Without it, the normal rate will apply.
Are Treignes’ other museums within walking distance?
The village of Treignes stretches over several kilometers. Depending on your wishes and your walking habits, it may be possible to combine your trip with another visit. For more information on Treignes museums, visit www.treignes.info
Can we eat there? On the train?
Eating is not permitted on board the train (except for the train-restaurant formula – check out the season’s events). Light meals (pasta, croque-monsieur, lasagne, cheese sandwiches) are available at the Treignes museum, the terminus station. In Mariembourg, some snacks are available à la carte. Picnics are permitted, subject to consumption on site.
Are dogs allowed?
Yes, under your own responsibility. We decline all responsibility in case of incident or accident. We draw your attention to the environment around and inside the train, which may bring unusual noises, smells and sensations for your dog, and modify his behavior.
Can I leave on one train and return on another?
Generally, yes. Depending on the timetable, it is possible to take a diesel railcar/train on the outward journey and a steam train on the return, or vice versa. Please consult our timetables on our home page. If in doubt, don’t hesitate to contact us by email: secretariat@cfv3v.eu or by telephone on 060/31.24.40.
Can I take my bike on board the train?
We can transport your bike on steam trains at no extra charge, subject to availability.

Is the train accessible to people with reduced mobility?
Our steam trains also have a carriage accessible to people with reduced mobility. Book the PMR carriage by contacting us several days before your arrival, so that we can give you the best possible welcome.
