The station was opened in 1859 by the Austrian Empire's Südbahn. It is located on the trans-Alpine Brenner Railway connecting Verona to Innsbruck. It is also a terminus of two branch lines: Valsugana Railway (to Levico Terme) and Trento-Malè metre-gauged railway.

The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI). The commercial area of the passenger building, however, is managed by Centostazioni, whereas train services are operated by Trenitalia and ÖBB-DB.
