Layout

The station has three platform tracks, served by a side platform and an island platform, which are situated beneath an overall canopy. The station building is on the northern side of the line and gives direct access to the side platform, whilst the island platform is accessed through a pedestrian subway. To the south of the island platform there are several additional through tracks, and there are sidings on both sides of the station.

Services

The station is served by Rhaetian Railway trains which provide one train per hour to and from Scuol-Tarasp via Landquart and Chur, and by Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn regional trains, which provide an hourly train to Andermatt. These two services connect in Disentis/Mustér. Several times a day, the jointly operated Glacier Express train stops at the station, on its tourist-oriented services between Zermatt and St. Moritz.[5][6][7]
