Station Puchberg am Schneeberg

The Puchberg am Schneeberg railway station welcomes its guests right in the centre of the community of the same name. The bright station building at the Kurpark was rebuilt in 2014/2015 and thus created a customer-friendly contact point for visitors to the Schneeberg and the surrounding region.

By means of a Park & Ride facility, space was created for over 130 cars and mopeds, which allow convenient boarding of the train. The Salamander trains of the Schneebergbahn are also all equipped with appropriate ramps, which enable barrier-free boarding and alighting if required.

Also located at the Puchberg am Schneeberg station is the stabling and workshop hall, which was built in 1999. The Salamander railcars and the steam locomotives are housed there and are maintained on site by the Niederösterreichische Schneebergbahn.
