The station features three platforms on the Gotthardbahn, whilst the Monte Generoso trains stop at a streetside location in front of the station. The single track to Monte Generoso leaves the station to the south, immediately climbing to a flyover over the main line, and also continues to the north serving the railway's car shed, workshops, and lakeside terminal stop.[1] Until 1948, the street outside the station contained not only the 800 mm (2 ft 7+1⁄2 in) gauge tracks of the Monte Generoso railway, but also the 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) gauge tracks of the Mendrisio electric tramway, which linked Chiasso with Riva San Vitale via Mendrisio and Capolago.[1]
