Inlandsbanan takes you on an adventure where you get to discover Swedens' Inland from Gällivare and Laponia in the north to Mora and Dalarna in the south
Experience the Swedish inland with us from north to south. Inlandsbanan takes you through a unique cultural landscape, and you’ll discover classic gems along the route, such as the Arctic Circle just south of Jokkmokk and the Navvy Museum in Moskosel. The journey begins with an overnight stay at a hotel in Gällivare, the northernmost point of Inlandsbanan. You’ll travel here on your own, and we highly recommend spending a full day here before you start your journey south. The second stop, Jokkmokk, is a real highlight, with a vibrant center and rich culture. The travel includes a visit to Ájtte—Swedish mountain and Sámi museum here. The journey then continues south towards Vilhelmina; don’t miss the chance to eat at the award-winning restaurant Bergmans Fisk & Vilt as the train passes by.
In Östersund, you’ll have a full day to explore the vivid city by Lake Storsjön; on this day you have entry to Jamtli museum included. The trip ends in Mora, the heart of Dalarna. If you haven’t been to Mora before, we highly recommend adding an extra night here so you have time to discover the pittoresque small town before continuing your travels.

The journey goes through wildlife-rich landscapes, so keep an eye out for predators! They are shy animals, so even if you don’t see them, you can be sure they see the train.

In addition, the train will make stops for lunch in Arvidsjaur and dinner at Bergmans Fisk & Vilt at Vilhelmina Norra, the station before the day’s final destination.
