If so, you&#8217;re probably considering travelling by night train from Stockholm, as this is a great way to access the far north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if the prospect of 18 hours on a train in an unfamiliar land seems a little daunting at first, don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ll talk you through it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/night-train-sweden-1.jpg\" alt=\"Travelling by night train is fun! \" class=\"wp-image-313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/night-train-sweden-1.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/night-train-sweden-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Travelling by night train is fun! Photo: Bob Carter Nature Travels.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why travel by train?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For our hiking and ski touring experiences in the north of Sweden as well as our canoe tours in Rogen in north-west Sweden, the tours are specifically timed to meet night train arrivals\/departure and so train (plus sometimes a connecting bus) will be by far the most common option to travel to\/from these tours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For other options, such as dog sledding in Swedish Lapland, it is also possible to travel by domestic flight from Stockholm, but train can provide a great alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While travelling by train is of course a personal preference, in our opinion taking the night train has a number of advantages over flying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There is an important environmental benefit \u2013 typically CO2 emissions per passenger are 50% lower for train travel compared to flying.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Depending on flight fares available, the train can be a more affordable travel option, with significant reductions available for families and young adults.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>As night trains heading north normally leave in the evening, they allow a wide choice of incoming flight times to connect with the train, which can help to keep travel costs down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Going by train gives you a much better sense of the distance you are travelling and the remoteness of the destination compared to flying \u2013 many guests see taking the train as part of the adventure. Exact connections vary depending on dates and of course where you\u2019re travelling to, but normally one of the two daily night train services north are direct. Once you\u2019re on the train, just relax and enjoy it!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> Taking the overnight train may avoid the cost of additional overnights before or after your tour, which may offer a considerable saving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"429\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/night-train-sweden-2.jpg\" alt=\"Night train in Sweden. \" class=\"wp-image-314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/night-train-sweden-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/night-train-sweden-2-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Euan Turner DMh Photo.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">All aboard!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Arrive in good time to board your train and get settled in. Particularly if travelling north from Stockholm Central station (Stockholm C), you may well find that the train begins from your station, so may be waiting on the platform some time before departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your carriage number\/seats will be printed on your ticket \u2013 trains can be very long so you may have some distance to walk along the platform. Depending on the options offered when you booked, you will either have printed out an e-ticket or used your booking reference to collect your tickets from an automat at the station. You may need to show ID in connection with your ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/night-train-sweden-3.jpg\" alt=\"Train in Sweden.\" class=\"wp-image-315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/night-train-sweden-3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/night-train-sweden-3-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Adam Burley<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Whiling away the time<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting hungry? Although most guests very much enjoy the train journey itself, we do sometimes hear that the food on offer left something to be desired (Swedish trains have something in common with trains in most other places in the world in that respect). So plan ahead by stocking up before you board on your favourite picnic supplies for dinner, breakfast and in-between snacks and drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring your favourite time-passing props to help the time slip past:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A pack of cards and a book (these will be useful on your tour too)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phone\/tablet\/laptop and charger. The compartments have charging points (don\u2019t forget an adapter for European sockets). If you favour 21st century entertainments, download some of your favourite movies\/TV shows to watch offline (bring some earphones to avoid disturbing other travellers). If you\u2019re bringing valuable or fragile electronic equipment, though, ensure you\u2019ve planned how this can be stored\/transported\/protected during your tour \u2013 an expensive laptop and a bumpy dogsled are not a good combination (and you probably won\u2019t be able to charge it while you\u2019re on tour anyway).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ear plugs (these won\u2019t help to pass the time, but may come in handy if your compartment has a snorer!)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t forget the value of good, old-fashioned conversation. Train journeys can be a great opportunity to spend quality time with friends and loved ones or to make new friends of your fellow travellers \u2013 English is widely spoken to a very high standard throughout the Nordic countries.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/night-train-sweden-4.jpg\" alt=\"Train platform in Sweden.\" class=\"wp-image-316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/night-train-sweden-4.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/night-train-sweden-4-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Adam Burley<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time for bed \u2013 train compartments and facilities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As night trains will normally leave in the evening, before long bedtime may be approaching. The sun may be setting, or maybe not &#8211; in high summer it may not set at all, and in midwinter it may never have risen! &#8211; so it\u2019s time to prepare the compartment. The great thing about a train is that you can lie down and sleep!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The standard night train tickets are 6-berth sleeper compartments. You can book spaces in male, female or mixed gender compartments. You can of course also book a seat only in a \u201cnormal\u201d seats-only carriage on the night trains, but we don\u2019t recommend this for any but the hardiest or most budget-conscious traveller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the day, there is seating for 3 persons on each side of the compartment. Luggage is stored up above the door or perhaps under the seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it\u2019s time to go to bed, the seating in the compartments converts to three bunks on each side. The part of the seat you have had your back against during the day folds up and locks to become the middle bunk. The headrests become simple pillows and you are given sheets and a light blanket as bedding, providing basic but comfortable sleeping arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our Train Top Tip:<\/strong> the top bunk is always \u201cdown\u201d, so if you\u2019d like the freedom to go to bed earlier than your travel companions (and not to have to get up before you want to) and so you won\u2019t be disturbed by others climbing past you in the night, book a top bunk. You can specify this option when going through the online booking process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You can see a detailed description of the facilities and sleeping arrangements on SJ night trains in Sweden here: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sj.se\/en\/about-the-journey\/sj-night-train\"><em>https:\/\/www.sj.se\/en\/about-the-journey\/sj-night-train<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Travelling in style<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic sleeper compartments are generally very pleasant and quite comfortable, but if you would like to treat yourself, there are a number of ways you can upgrade:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re travelling as 4 or 5 persons and would prefer not to share your carriage, you might find that you can \u201cbook out\u201d the whole compartment to have it to yourself for just a small addition to the total fare \u2013 this option will be offered if available during the booking process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also upgrade to higher standard sleeping compartments (usually for 2-3 persons), which have \u201cproper\u201d beds and bed linen and may also have en-suite WC\/shower facilities. Sometimes the additional cost for upgrading compared to a standard fare is surprisingly little.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/night-train-sweden-6.jpg\" alt=\"Upgraded compartment on Finnish night train (Swedish trains are similar).\" class=\"wp-image-318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/night-train-sweden-6.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.naturetravels.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/night-train-sweden-6-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Upgraded compartment on Finnish night train (Swedish trains are similar).

But to be on the safe side, don\u2019t forget to set your alarm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the train is rolling into the station, you say your farewells to your fellow travellers and wish them luck on their journeys.
