Northern Sweden by Rail

Tour Overview
Discover wild Arctic landscapes on this nine-day journey through Northern Norway and Sweden. Kick things off in the island city of Tromso, then board the legendary Ofoten Railway to Abisko National Park (warning: it’s a panoramic workout for your neck muscles) to hike a section of Sweden’s most famous trail. Tuck into a traditional lunch on a Sami cultural tour in Vilhelmina, then ride the retro Inlandsbanan train through Swedish Lapland – including a photo stop at the Arctic Circle. Explore the lakeside city of Ostersund, then end your Swedish adventure in the culture-rich capital of Stockholm – maybe with a sticky cinnamon bun.

Trip Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- •
Travel the length of Northern Sweden on two of Europe’s most scenic rail journeys: the Ofoten Railway along Ofot Fjord and the nostalgic Inland Railway through Swedish Lapland – including a stop at the Arctic Circle.
- •
Experience the surreal Midnight Sun (May to July), with up to 24 hours of daylight. Technically, you could go hiking in the middle of the night – just don’t forget a sleeping mask for when it’s finally time to crash!
- •
Hike a section of the famous Kungsleden Trail, one of Europe's longest wilderness routes. Wander through birch forests along the Abiskojokk River and across open moorlands blooming with alpine flowers.
- •
Uncover the ancient culture of the Sami people at an open-air museum with two Sami hosts. See traditional homes, learn about reindeer herding and share a classic Sami-style lunch.
- •
Explore the historic streets of Ostersund – a lake city in central Sweden. Maybe step back to the Viking age at Jamtland Museum, brave the cool waters of Lake Storsjön or dig into regional delicacies like smoked moose.
