Step by step towards a modern station
The modernisation of Wolfurt railway station is taking place in several construction phases whilst rail services continue to operate. This means that passengers can continue to use the station during the building works. Step by step, a modern transport hub is taking shape that meets the requirements for accessibility, comfort and better connections between different modes of transport. The forecourt, complete with Bike & Ride and Park & Ride facilities, is due to be completed in autumn 2026.

More than just a station refurbishment
The project involves far more than simply refurbishing the platforms. As well as modernising the pedestrian underpass and installing lifts, the cycle parking facilities have been expanded, new cycle lockers have been installed and the forecourt has been redesigned. At the same time, ÖBB is investing in the renewal of tracks, points and technical infrastructure in the station area.
Project partners: ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG, the State of Vorarlberg, the market town of Wolfurt.
