Rail transport

In addition to its appearance, the station is also a rarity in Austria because of its use, as there is almost no local transport in this station. In the off-peak times, a pair of trains (REX 5098/5099) runs between Bad Gastein and Salzburg (the early train continues to Bad Reichenhall ).

Otherwise, only long-distance trains that run between Klagenfurt and Salzburg Hauptbahnhof stop here . The RJ trains are tied through to Vienna Airport . The RJ-train pair 110/111 and EC trains are to Munich or Frankfurt or Dortmund out. Direction Salzburg main station and Klagenfurt main station is available to guests every two hours.

The pair of EN trains on the ( Belgrade -) Zagreb - Villach - Zurich axis also stops in Bad Gastein. However, more night trains run through the station.
