Take the train to the mountains

Sit back, enjoy the views and let the journey become part of your mountain holiday. Travelling by train gives you time to relax and arrive rested and ready for your days on the slopes, while offering a more sustainable alternative to travelling by car or plane.

Travel by train to SkiStar's resorts

If you are travelling from outside Scandinavia, the most practical option is often to connect with the rail network in Stockholm, Copenhagen/Malmö or Oslo. Which connection works best depends on the resort you are travelling to.

Routes and departures vary depending on where you start and when you travel. See the destination pages for current travel options.

Book your train journey with SkiStar

Selected Snälltåget journeys can be booked directly with SkiStar. When bus transfer is included in the journey, you book the train and transfer together.

Other train connections

Other rail connections may be more convenient depending on where your journey begins. SJ also operates day and night trains on several routes towards the Swedish mountains.

Good to know before travelling by train

  • Connections and transfers: check what is included in your booking and how the final part of the journey works.
  • Ski equipment: baggage and reservation rules vary between train operators.
  • Night trains: if you arrive early in the morning, check when you can access your accommodation.
