Sattel railway station (German: Bahnhof Sattel) is a railway station in the municipality of Sattel, in the Swiss canton of Schwyz. It is an intermediate stop on the standard gauge Pfäffikon–Arth-Goldau line of Südostbahn (SOB).
The project to replace the former station began in 2022, as Sattel-Aegeri no longer met requirements for accessibility and the Canton of Schwyz's public transport strategy to better align rail and bus services. Construction began in early 2023, with an estimated project cost of 5.9m CHF.[2][3] The new station opened on 10 December 2023, with Sattel-Aegeri closing permanently on the same day.[4][5]
Facilities
Sattel railway station has a 170 meter covered platform, along with bicycle storage beneath the main platform.[2]
