Inland Railway (Inlandsbanan) 

The construction of the Inland Railway commenced in 1907 and runs through the very heart of the Swedish countryside. It is now 100 years old and the 1300km (800 miles) of track runs along side glorious lakes, through dense forest and provides unspoilt views.  The line is still of great importance to Sweden's infrastructure, as nature provides a rich supply of raw materials and trains are much more environmentally friendly than road transport. 

The Inland Railway runs from June to September when Sweden enjoys long summer days and the midnight sun. You may be lucky enough to catch sight of shy Swedish wildlife including reindeer, elk and bears. Spontaneous stops may be made to make way for these great creatures so keep your camera close to hand! 

During your journey you will have the services of a train host, who is constantly on hand to offer advice about local activities and offer more information about the spectacular views.

Several tours, each with a different theme, have been designed so you can make the most of this unique Swedish adventure.
