Airolo railway station is a railway station in the Swiss canton of Ticino and municipality of Airolo. The station is on the Swiss Federal Railways Gotthard railway, at the southern entrance to the Gotthard Tunnel.[1][2]
The station has three platform tracks, served by a side platform and an island platform, connected by a pedestrian subway. The station building, on the side platform, includes a kiosk and a ticket office, but is largely given over to a manufacturer of local yogurts. Just outside the station entrance is a memorial to the lives lost during the construction of the Gotthard Tunnel.
