Aosta railway station is situated in the southern part of the city, a few hundred metres (yards) from the central Émile Chanoux square (town hall square), to which it is linked by Avenue Conseil des Commis.
The station has recently been renovated. It is composed of a single building with ticketing, waiting rooms, a cafe bar, a bistro restaurant and a tobacconist. A minor building, adjacent to the main one, is the headquarters of the railway police.
The station yard has eight tracks, of which five are dedicated to passenger trains, and faced by platforms equipped with steel canopies. Recently, Centrostazioni fitted the platforms and the subway to Via Paravera with illuminated signs indicating destinations and schedules.
There is no goods shed at the station. In recent years, the only goods traffic passing through the station has been consignments of slate, widely used for roofing in the Aosta Valley, and cargoes of waste, particularly of scrap metal, from Cogne Aciers spéciaux (CAS), a steelworks located near the station. The scrap metal was destined for foundries, and was transported several days a week by goods trains hauled by two D345 class diesel locomotives (one at each end of the train) or the new D242 class diesel locomotives.
Until 2001–2002, the station was managed in collaboration with military railway engineers (who were involved in the management of the Chivasso–Aosta railway).
The station is served by the following service:
- Express services (Regionale Veloce) Turin - Chivasso – Ivrea – Aosta
- Regional services (Treno regionale) Ivrea - Aosta
