The station is located to the east of the Toblach saddle in the Hochpustertal (High Puster Valley) at an altitude of 1176 m. It is located on the western outskirts of Innichen adjacent to national highway 49.

[3] Between 1985 and 1989, Ferrovie dello Stato electrified the Puster Valley Railway from Innichen west to Franzensfeste at 3 kV DC, while the ÖBB electrified the Drava Valley Railway from Innichen east to Lienz at 15 kV 16.7 Hz AC.

A master plan for the project was commissioned by Südtiroler Transportstrukturen (South Tyrol transport facilities) and presented in 2013.

[4] The station building, designed by Wilhelm von Flattich, has a central structure built in conglomerate and has granite bossage.

However, due to the electrification of the Drava and Puster Valley Railways with different electrical systems in the 1980s, it actually became a double terminus.
