The station is an important junction, where the Zug–Arth-Goldau line joins the main line of the Gotthard line, and also where the Südostbahn-owned Pfäffikon–Arth-Goldau line diverges. The station has six platforms: three on the Gotthard line toward Lucerne and three on the Zug–Arth-Goldau line toward Zug. Additionally, the Arth–Rigi Railway terminates in its own platforms above and at right angles to the main platforms.[1][5][7]
