Direct train to Austria in summer 2024

Boarding Snälltåget's night train is the start of your adventure. You can choose between different comfort levels, but if you are traveling together, the best experience is to buy your own compartment.

Seat – the most affordable option

You have a reserved seat in a open salon coach.

Private Compartment – if you travel together

In each compartment, there is room for six persons. Each compartment is equipped with a duvet, pillow and bed linen. The beds are 180 cm long and at least 60 cm wide. The compartment door cannot be locked from the outside, only from the inside. 

There are no set rules for quiet time, but in general it should be quiet enough for those who want to sleep at 22.

Berth in shared compartment

You share a compartment with 6 berths with other passengers.

Luggage and Skis

A suitcase and a hand luggage per person may be brought. Do not pack in a large suitcase for the whole party,  divide it instead into several bags, so it is easier to stow your luggage on board.

If you travel with the comfort level seat, the luggage should be placed under the chair in front of you and on the hat shelf above. There is a luggage rack at one end of the coach for larger bags.

If you travel in pricelevel berth in shared compartment or in your Private Compartment, the luggage is placed on shelf (1 in picture below) and under the lower bed (2 in picture below). If you book your own compartment, it is also possible to use an empty bed for luggage or skis.

Pre-book ski check-in! The avilability of check-in is limited and costs SEK 498 for a round trip. If you travel in the price level seat or berth in shared compartment, you must check in your skis.

Toilet

Each coach has two toilets and two extra washrooms with only basins.

Wi-Fi

There is Wi-Fi in some carriages, but keep in mind that coverage in Germany is very limited. If you plan to watch a movie during the trip - download it at home beforehand!

USB sockets

The effect is limited to charging a mobile phone or computer. If you travel in the price level seat, there are electrical outlets under your chair. If you travel in berth in shared compartment or Private Compartment, there is a USB socket by the window.

Tickets that are purchased on Snälltåget.se can be rebooked. The ticket can also be made refundable for a fee.

The follwing rules apply for both rebookable and refundable tickets:

• Seat and berth in shared compartment be cancelled at least 24 hours before departure.
• Private Compartment must be cancelled at least seven days before departure.

The booking fee (9-79 SEK per ticket) is not refunded and is not part of the travel voucher for rebookable tickets.

If your purchase a ticket where the departure is within 24 hours (or within seven days for a Private Compartment), it cannot be refunded or rebooked.

Snälltåget uses green energy from water, wind and sun to reduce the environmental impact of your journey.

A train journey for one person from Malmö or Copenhagen to Zell am See back and forth means an emission of about 1.2 kg CO2. In this calculation we have included the losses in the electricity network and the impact that the various renewable power sources have on the environment.

A flight Kastrup–Innsbruck / Salzburg with SAS A320NEO equals 267 kg CO2, but then there is a bus transfer is added on top of that. The same trip with a petrol-powered Volvo V60 corresponds to 128 kg CO2 per person with four people in the car. A bus that runs on fossil-free HVO fuel emits about 8 kg of CO2 per person.
