This is your opportunity to experience mountain air and sea breezes on one and the same trip. The journey takes you through the unspoilt countryside of inland Sweden, into the mountains and then on towards the Atlantic coast, where you join Hurtigruten. This part of the journey is a cruise south to Trondheim along the Norwegian coast where you find some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. This is a very popular package so book in good time to secure a place.

You can start the package tour either in Mora or in Östersund.

DAY 1 MORA
You make your own travel arrangements to Mora where your tour package begins. We can help you arrange connecting journeys by train – just let us know when you make your booking. The Mora area has culture and activities to suit everyone. For example, you could visit Zorngården or the Vasa Race museum, or have a swim in Lake Siljan at the beach in Mora.

DAY 2 MORA–ÖSTERSUND
The morning is free for exploration of Mora in more detail. In the afternoon it is time to climb aboard the train for the first stage of your journey on Inlandsbanan. The train will slow down as we pass the
waterfalls Storstupet and Helvetesfallet, which were used for timber floating, to allow you to admire nature’s own drama. You will also be able to visit – and perhaps even crawl into – a real bear’s den by the railway. In the evening we arrive in Östersund. Try a walk along Lake Storsjön before you go to bed.

DAY 3 ÖSTERSUND–ARVIDSJAUR
From Östersund the journey continues north. You can catch a quick glimpse of Ångermanland before we enter Sweden’s largest province – Lapland. Here you are surrounded by vast areas of forests, mountains and rushing water. This is also reindeer country so don’t be surprised if you see reindeer, and with a bit of luck, elks and bears along the tracks. The train pulls in at Arvidsjaur in the afternoon, which allows you time to visit the Sami village Lappstaden, and perhaps even take a trip on a railway tricycle.

DAY 4 ARVIDSJAUR–GÄLLIVARE
In the afternoon you will be crossing the Arctic Circle. We journey through one of the national parks as well as the World Heritage Site Laponia, which has mountains, lakes, delta landscapes, ancient forests and some one hundred glaciers. You are looking at a landscape imbued with Sami heritage, inhabited since theIce Age and home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, including many endangered species. After a late arrival in Gällivare, you will go by coach for an evening trip to the summit of Dundret to admire the astounding beauty of the landscape bathed in the light of the summer night. Enjoy the unique surroundings.

DAY 5 GÄLLIVARE–NARVIK–HARSTAD
The journey now continues by train or coach. You travel past the ore fields of Kiruna, the northernmost city in Sweden, and on towards Abisko national park with the Kebnekaise mountain as backdrop. You will soon be crossing the border with Norway before arriving in the coastal town of Narvik after a beautiful scenic journey. From Narvik the journey continues by bus to the harbour town of Harstad, the entry point to Lofoten, where traces of Stone Age habitation have been found.

DAY 6 HURTIGRUTEN
In the morning we board Hurtigruten. The service has been in operation along the Norwegian coast for 100 years, linking the north of the country with the south. Hurtigruten enters Trollfjorden to turn around, which gives you the opportunity to marvel at the spectacular scenery. In the evening the vessel docks at Svolvær, the regional centre of Lofoten. Take the opportunity to go on shore and explore on your own.

DAY 7 HURTIGRUTEN
Today you will cruise along the Helgeland coastline with more than 1,000 islands and numerous fishing hamlets. In the morning you will cross the Arctic Circle on the way south and also see the “Seven Sisters” – seven beautiful mountain tops that are 1,000 metres tall.

DAY 8 TRONDHEIM–ÖSTERSUND
When you wake up you will be in Trondheim, where you can visit the beautiful Nidaros cathedral and the fishing harbour Ravnkloa with its local delicacies. Mittnabotåget leaves in the afternoon and reaches  Östersund in the evening. You could also take the morning train from Trondheim to Östersund to explore the city properly. Visit Jamtli Historieland, for instance.

DAY 9 ÖSTERSUND–MORA
It is now time to either head back south along Inlandsbanan to Mora, or you could finish the trip in Östersund. Your Inlandsbanan Card will still be valid for a few days, so whatever you choose to do, there will be lots to see and do on and around Inlandsbanan.
