ÖBB modernises three Tauern Railway stations in the Gastein valley

ÖBB, together with the province of Salzburg and the municipalities, has rebuilt the Dorfgastein, Bad Hofgastein and Bad Gastein stations on the Tauern Railway, and they have been in operation since 14 July 2025. All three stations have step-free access with two new lifts each, rebuilt platforms (220 m in Dorfgastein and Bad Hofgastein, a 420 m island platform for long-distance trains in Bad Gastein), new passenger information and larger park-and-ride and bike-and-ride facilities; Bad Gastein also gained a bus terminal. Investment was EUR 7.8 million in Dorfgastein, EUR 9.3 million in Bad Hofgastein and EUR 23.1 million in Bad Gastein, with remaining works planned until July 2027 (Bad Gastein) and December 2027 (Dorfgastein, Bad Hofgastein).
