Location

In January 2019, the new station was opened after an extensive reconstruction, which lowered the tracks and platforms by 4.5 meters, bringing them underground.[3] The new station has two tracks. The shorter track 1 is used by local trains to/from Martigny, while the longer track 2 is able to accommodate the Verbier Express trains which run directly to Geneva and beyond on weekends. [4]

The valley station for a gondola lift to Verbier is adjacent to the station.[1] Local buses to Bruson, Sarreyer and Verbier serve Le Châble station as well.
