Introduction

Visp is now the busiest train station in Valais. Every day, about 230 trains stop at Visp, and about 18,400 passengers use the station, mainly for trains to and from Sion.

Platform

The Visp train station is well-deserved and located in the city centre, but its other main function is to become a transfer station. It is a shared station between SBB train and MGB train.

Visp is quite typical in medium-sized Swiss stations because it has a passage that extends under the rails to connect the platform to the buildings and exits of the main station, which must also be used if you want to change trains.

If you have heavy luggage, etc., and do not want to use the stairs to transfer between the train and the train, the only option is to use the slope, there is no elevator above the platform 2-6.

The MGB train to Amdermatt usually uses platform 2. The MGB train to Zermatt usually uses platform 3, and the express train heads north to Bern and Geneva (Geneve) usually uses platform 4/5. The express trains to the Brig and Milano in the south usually use the platform 6.
