About Frick

Frick is a small station in the canton of Aargau, lying in the Fricktal valley between Aarau and Basel on the SBB main line that follows the Rhine corridor through northern Switzerland. The town of Frick has grown into a significant centre for life sciences and pharmaceutical research, and the station serves a daily commuter population travelling towards Basel and the greater Aargau region. Regional S-Bahn services stop here frequently, and the surrounding area is notable for its dinosaur fossil finds — the Sauriermuseum Frick houses one of Switzerland's most important palaeontological collections.
