In addition to modern trains that traffic the entire country, we also offer
numerous departures and an extensive network that will safely deliver
you to your destination.

SJ Night trains
If you decide to travel all the way to
Lapland, you can buy the Arctic Circle
Pass. It’s a flexible card that offers
unlimited travel for 3 days. The Arctic
Circle Pass allows you to hop on and
off trains along what is quite possibly
Sweden’s most scenic train route,
Kiruna – Narvik. The train stops at 12
places including Abisko, Björkliden,
Vassijaure, Riksgränsen, Bjørnfjell,
Søsterbekk and Katterat. The route is
A night on the train saves an overnight
stay in a hotel and is a wonderful way
of utilising the travel time. You can
choose between a berth in a couchette,
a berth in a sleeping car, or 1st Class
travel in a sleeping compartment. There
is a bistro on board certain trains. The
night train travels north to the ski resorts
in Jämtland in north-west Sweden or
to Europe’s last wilderness in Lapland,
Sweden’s most northern province. The
train stops at the foot of the mountains
where you embark refreshed and ready
to explore.
