EN: The train station of Leuk is located in the village of Susten, which belongs to the town of Leuk, but is located in the Rhone Valley, while the old town lies on a plateau.
The station building is a round two-story structure made of glass and metal with a flat roof, which also contains a small grocery store. The old station building was demolished sometime between 1992 and 2007.
The line on which Leuk lies was completed in 1878 and connects the Upper Valais with the Lake Geneva region.
Today, Leuk is served by the Interregio between Brig and Geneva, as well as two regional lines between Brig and St.-Gingolph and Monthey, respectively, every hour.
Opposite the station there is a bus stop with connections to surrounding villages and the town of Leuk.
