The station has a single through track with a single platform and station building. The valley station for a cable car to the top of Diavolezza is located across the street from station. In the summer trailheads for hiking are located nearby.[1][4]
The station was opened in 1956, at the same time as the adjacent cable car, and was originally also a passing station. However it relinquished that role to Bernina Lagalb when that station was opened.[5]
