Arenaways is an open-access railway operator in Italy. It began passenger operations between Milan and Turin in November 2010, competing with national monopoly operator Trenitalia. Arenaways was running the first private passenger-carrying rail services since nationalisation, and intended to complain to the competition authority about the dominance of Trenitalia.

In March 2024 Arenaways was awarded a PSO contract for the operation of two railway lines in Piedmont for 10 years, commencing in January 2025. The operator selected Estonian rail ticketing solutions firm, Turnit, to power their eCommerce and ticketing solutions.

Arenaways used Bombardier Traxx locomotives, and passenger coaches built by Astra Vagoane Călători [ro]. The company offered a number of novel on-board services.

In November 2024, Renfe bought a 33% shareholding in Arenaways.
