Boarding the night train is the start of your adventure. You can choose between different comfort levels, but if you travel together, you will have the best experience if you book a Private Compartment. During the evening you can socialise, play games or visit our restaurant Krogen ("The Pub").

Seat – the most affordable option

You have a seat reserved in a coach or inside a compartment for six people.

Seat 1st Class – for solo travellers

You travel in a comfortable chair that is wider than a regular Seat and there are fewer booked seats in the coach for better comfort. A pillow, pillowcase, blanket and a sheet is included in the price.

Private Compartment – if you travel together

You have a private compartment for you or your company of up to six people. When you board, the compartment is in seat mode and when it is time for bed, you turn the seats into berths. In night mode, there are three berths on each side of the compartment and you can reach the upper berths with a ladder. Pillows, pillowcases, sheets, blankets and duvets for making the bed, are included in the price.

Private Compartment is available for night time travellers.

Private Compartment Comfort – for extra comfort

Same compartment as the Private Compartment, but where the compartment is in night mode when you arrive an you can go to bed right away. In the morning, breakfast in the restaurant is included.

Private Compartment Comfort is available between Stockholm and Åre.

Toilets

There are two toilets at the end of each coach, no matter the comfort level.

Wi-Fi 

There is Wi-Fi in all coaches except for our restaurant. Keep in mind that it is much slower than an at home network. Make sure you download any movies you want to watch, before boarding the train.

Power outlets

All our coaches have power outlets. They are placed on the wall, but there is not enough outlets for each passenger. The effect of the electrical outlet is limited which means that they are made for charging for example your phone or computer. Some coaches only have USB outlets.

You can bring pets in Seating and Private Compartment. Choose 'Pets allowed' in the booking.

Enjoying something tasty in our dining car is an essential part of the mountain holiday. Visiting our restaurant on rails, "Krogen", is popular, so we offer table reservations.

Start your day with breakfast in our restaurant "Krogen" or grab a breakfast bag for your compartment.

The breakfast bag includes a cheese sandwich, fruit, juice, and a hot drink (coffee, hot chocolate, or tea).

Breakfast in "Krogen" means enjoying your own cheese roll on tableware, reducing single-use items, and allowing for a more environmentally friendly breakfast experience.

Pre-book breakfast to ensure availability! It sets you up for a better start to the day, prevents us from running out of breakfast, or, worst case, wasting food.

The breakfast costs 89 SEK.

You can bring a carry-on with dimensions of 55x45x25 cm.

If you're traveling in a Shared Compartment or Seating, you'll need to check in your skis if you're on train 3900/3901.

On trains 3900/3901, there's a luggage wagon where you can check in larger items such as big suitcases, sleds, strollers, and skis. The cost for checking in skis and luggage will be 100 SEK per item per journey on domestic routes.

Booking a Private Compartment allows for more baggage. If you have empty seats in the compartment, you can use one of the beds for luggage storage. Keep in mind that space in the compartment is limited—pack in several smaller, adaptable bags and backpacks rather than one large and heavy suitcase.
