Le Châble railway station (French: Gare du Châble), also known as Le Châble VS, is a railway station in the municipality of Bagnes, in the Swiss canton of Valais. It is the eastern terminus of the standard gauge Martigny–Orsières line of Transports de Martigny et Régions.

In January 2019, the new station was opened after an extensive reconstruction, which lowered the tracks and platforms by 4.5 meters, bringing them underground.^[1] The new station has two tracks. The shorter track 1 is used by local trains to/from, while the longer track 2 is able to accommodate the Verbier Express trains which run directly to Geneva and beyond on weekends. ^[2]

The valley station for a gondola lift to Verbier is adjacent to the station. Local buses to Bruson, Sarreyer and Verbier serve Le Châble station as well.
