9 days - Take the slow route through Sweden on the inland train.
The Inlandsbanan route travels through inland Sweden the slow way - two carriages, your own guide and with the average speed of 50km/h, it is a wonderfully relaxing way to appreciate northern Sweden. On your journey north you will travel through a dramatic world heritage landscape, while at the same time getting a taste of the Swedish lifestyle and countryside.
Enjoy the midnight sun, be on the look out for elk and reindeer on the tracks and watch the forests unfold. If you are biking enthusiast, it is possible to bring your bike along for the entire journey - you can book your private stand for your bike.

International flights, meals and items of personal nature.
Sweden's Capital is charming, vibrant and surrounded by beauty and water - hence its nickname, Venice of the North. Stockholm offers interesting museums and castles & charming small alleyways. Be sure to make time for the ABBA museum or perhaps even catch the ABBA musical dining show!
There are many great guided walks to do in Stockholm - ABBA walking tour, Stieg Larsson’s Millennium trilogy, ghost walks, Viking walks and even a walk that guides you to the best places to take photos.
This morning, take the fast train to Mora to meet the Inlandsbanan. Mora has culture and attractions suitable for everyone. For example, you could visit Zorngården and the Vasa Race museum, or go shopping for a traditional wooden Dalahästen horse.
The nature around Mora & Siljan i Dalarna is a virtual paradise for cyclists, with everything from winding dirt roads for downhill, and nice tarmac roads for the road cyclist.
The morning is spent in Mora, from where the afternoon train takes you on the first leg of your Inlandsbanan tour. 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 be travelling through Hälsingland and Härjedalen, the highest province in Sweden. In the evening we arrive in Östersund, the county town for Jämtland.
Östersund is a true summer city with a great deal to offer. Take a walk to the heritage museum Jamtli History Land and meet up with people and places from days gone by. Entry is included. Or perhaps you want to discover the city on your own? Bikes can be hired from the tourist information office, where you can also pick up a map of cycling routes. Enjoy your bike ride!
From Östersund the journey continues north. You can catch a quick glimpse of county Ångermanland before we enter Sweden’s largest province – Lapland. Here you are surrounded by vast areas of forests, mountains, bogs and rushing water. This is also reindeer country so don’t be surprised if you see reindeer, moose and bears along the track. The train pulls in at Arvidsjaur in the afternoon, which allows you time to visit the Sami village Lappstaden.
The morning is free for you to spend as you wish. In the afternoon you will be crossing the Arctic Circle and travelling through part of the national park area and World Heritage Site Laponia, which has mountains, lakes, delta landscapes, ancient forests and glaciers. You are looking at a landscape imbued with Sami heritage, inhabited since the Ice Age and home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, including several endangered species.
The journey now continues by train past the ore fields of Kiruna, the northernmost city in Sweden which they also currently are moving, and on towards Abisko national park with the Kebnekaise mountain as backdrop.
Step off the train at Abisko and transfer to Björkliden, your hotel for the night. Upon arrival, check in and have the afternoon/evening to enjoy the breathtaking landscapes around the Torneträsk Lake.
A short journey today, crossing the border to Norway and arriving in the coastal town of Narvik.
From here, you can either travel by train further down the Norwegian coast to Trondheim, jump onto a Hurtigruten coastal voyage or explore the Helgeland or Lofoten archipelago.
