🇨🇭 Göschenen
MajorSwitzerland
Göschenen is a mountain station at the northern entrance of the historisch Gotthard Tunnel in the canton of Uri, perched at etwa 1,100 metres altitude at the head of the Reuss valley gorge. Before the opening of the Gotthard Base Tunnel in 2016, virtually all passenger and freight rail traffic crossing the Alps through Schweiz passed through Göschenen, and the old tunnel portal remains an iconic landmark of 19th-century Swiss engineering. The station also serves as the lower terminus of the Schöllenenbahn Zahnradbahn that climbs the dramatic Schöllenen gorge to Andermatt, providing ein wichtiger link for the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn mountain Netz.

Göschenen is the Umstiegsbahnhof for the Matterhorn Gotthard Bahn Zahnradbahn to Andermatt, with the lower terminal at Göschenen located adjacent to the SBB Bahnsteige. The journey through the dramatic Schöllenen Gorge takes etwa zwanzig Minuten.
SBB regional and Intercity-Züge on the Gotthard Panorama Express route stop at Göschenen, sitting at the north portal of the Gotthard Base Tunnel. Not all fast IC-Züge call here, so checking the Fahrplan before travel is important.
Göschenen is a small mountain junction station without dedicated Gepäckaufbewahrung. Passengers travelling onwards to Andermatt should carry only what they need; ski equipment and oversized luggage can be sent ahead as registered luggage on the RhB Netz from Andermatt.
The Schöllenen Gorge is a spectacular granite ravine carved by the River Reuss below Göschenen, with the railway and an old road winding through its cliffs. The historisch Teufelsbrücke (Devil's Bridge) is barrierefrei on foot from the gorge floor and was once the only crossing on the Gotthard pass route.
Göschenen has a basic Wartebereich and Fahrkartenautomat at the SBB level, with the MGB narrow-gauge Bahnsteige direkt below. There is a small Café near the station, and the village has limited Geschäfte suitable for picking up snacks before the mountain journey.
