This is how to get to my beautiful part of Sweden. With only 20 kilometers to Norway, this is a right in the heart of Scandinavia.
By Train. – Slow traveling at its top!
Make your travel a slow experience by taking the train. Good for the climate, you get to see and experience more of the landscape. Travel through the Swedish landscape or the through Norway and spectacular mountains. The easiest way to get here is by train, there are both night and dayily trains from the major cities in Sweden. Most of the tours are adapted to when the morning train arrives. Snälltåget, SJ, Norrtåg and VY will take you here. The nearest train stations are Storlien or Enafors.

Want to do more on your vacation?
Add a couple of extra days and get to see more of the area. Want to see more than just the mountains? Here are my tips.
Extend your train holiday. Make your trip here an experience! The Inlandsbanan is an adventure train that takes you through large parts of Sweden’s interior, I myself grew up on this type of train and think it’s a fantastic way to travel. Join a booked package tour or create your own. With a detour to Jämtlandsfjällen and my beautiful garden, you get to see the best of Norrland. You can also go on Vildmarkståget (The wildernesstrain) where you get to ride with a steam locomotive and in the old, and by that I mean the really old, museum cars, of which there are not many left. Make the trip here an experience!
