History

The station was opened along with the rest of the line from 18 May 1939, becoming however operation only since 20 July 1940[1] because of the need to complete several systems[2] and the absence of the rolling stock.[3]

Because of the altitude, it was not possible to rejoin the new line with the existing station. It was therefore built a new station more valley and an intermediate square for put into communication the two lines.

From 21 January 1961, in advance to the end of the concession to the "Società Ferrovia Biella-Novara (SFBN)" company, the management of the railway line passed to the state and the exercise of the stations was assumed by Ferrovie dello Stato.[4]
