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 budget-friendly option

You have a reserved seat in a 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.

Yes. Tickets including transfers can be booked online, and prices for each departure are shown in the booking.

Private Compartment and Berth in a shared compartment are normally only sold as return tickets. Any remaining places are released as one-way tickets one week before departure. The exceptions are the departure from Austria on 4 July 2026 and the departure to Austria on 31 July 2026, when one-way tickets can be booked at any time.

All tickets are personal, and the correct passenger details must be entered when booking. If you need to make changes later, the journey must be rebooked.

Interrail is normally valid only for travel in a seat. The exceptions are the departure from Austria on 4 July 2026 and the departure to Austria on 31 July 2026, when Interrail can also be used for other comfort levels.

Subject to availability, we also release last-minute tickets for Berth in a shared compartment 24 hours before departure and for Private Compartment 7 days before departure.

A seat reservation is required when travelling with Interrail. Read more about how to book an Interrail seat reservation.

Yes. Together with STS Alpresor (opens in new tab), we offer package holidays by train to Bad Gastein. The train takes you to Schwarzach St. Veit, followed by a bus transfer of around 30 minutes.

You are allowed one suitcase and one carry-on per person. Do not pack all your group’s luggage into a single large suitcase, instead divide it into several bags to make it easier to store on board.

If you are travelling in the seat car, your luggage will be stored under the seat in front of you and on the overhead rack. There is also a luggage rack at one end of the carriage for larger bags.

If you are travelling in a shared compartment or a private compartment, you can store your luggage on the overhead rack or under the lower bed (see the image below). If you book a private compartment, you can also use an empty bed for your luggage or skis.

Pre-book baggage check-in if you have a lot of luggage. Space is limited and costs 498 SEK return.

Tickets for Snälltåget purchased via Snälltåget.se are rebookable. They can be changed if you cancel at least 24 hours before departure (or 7 days for private compartments on the night train). Refundable tickets are also available for an additional charge.

For package travel including Snälltåget, the tour operator’s cancellation and refund policies apply.

For travel with Snälltåget’s night train to Austria, train number 304/305, there are also special ticket rules. The trip can only be purchased as a return journey, and it’s not possible to cancel just one leg of the journey. This also applies to connecting legs purchased in a single booking.

No, it’s not possible to travel with pets on our trains to and from Austria.

This is because there are the stops at the stations are not long enough on this route, and therefore provide no opportunities to let dogs or other pets out of the train, making the journey an impractical option for pets.

Snälltåget purchases renewable electricity (hydropower, wind power, solar power) to minimise the climate impact of your journey.

A round-trip train journey for one person from Malmö/Copenhagen to Zell am See results in an emission of approximately 1.2 kg of CO2, including losses in the electricity grid and the impact of the various renewable energy sources used.

A flight from Kastrup to Innsbruck/Salzburg with an SAS A320NEO corresponds to 267 kg of CO2, but this does not include transfer emissions. The same trip by petrol-driven Volvo V60 results in 128 kg of CO2 per person with four people in the car. A bus running on fossil-free HVO fuel emits about 8 kg of CO2 per person.
