Accessible, safe and fit for the future
The Lavant Valley Railway acts as an important feeder line to the Koralm Railway. The modernisation and electrification of the line was necessary for access to the attractive, high-quality rail network of the Koralm Railway. For this purpose, stops and stations on the regional railway line have been gradually modernised and made accessible since 2008.

With the commissioning of the Koralm Railway in Carinthia at the end of 2023, the regional line will also achieve "green" status - all trains will run on 100 percent green traction current. The measures within the framework of the Koralm Railway project are financed by funds from ÖBB-Infrastruktur AG and the provinces of Carinthia and Styria. The Koralm Railway is also co-financed by the European Union.
