Arctic Train transports you 43 kilometres through a desolate, wild and beautiful landscape along the Ofot line. The line stretches from Narvik in Nordland to Bjørnfjell close to the Swedish boarder and is Norway's most northerly railway. From the ice-blue fjord in Narvik to the bare mountains in Sweden, there are several historical events that form a dramatic backdrop for the experience.

Beautiful scenery with very friendly helpful staff. This is truly a once in a lifetime experience that you will never forget. They say sit on the left as that is the best view, don’t worry if you aren’t seated on the left because the train crew ask people to swap over so you get a view going or returning. We travelled with parents and family and this trip appealed to all ages. Fantastic value for money.

A very scenic and pleasant trip. Unfortunately it was very misty which was a shame but we enjoyed being in the snow - it was a very atmospheric experience. The train the tour guides were extremely helpful.
It was a bonus on our cruise.

We enjoyed the natural beauty of the fjord viewed from above. The stops were also very nice. We captured many photos.

Excellent trip. Same as the cruise ship one at a fraction of the cost.
Sit on left (fjord facing) side of train on departure. Ideally people are to switch sides for return trip but not everyone extends common courtesy.
Area near train doors has fold down seats that offer good views and easy window access.

We took the 11:40am train. It was a lumbering ride with a few station stops along the way. You were able to jump off, stretch your legs and reboard. The higher elevations offered beautiful views and waterfalls over the valleys. Be sure to get a seat on the LEFT side as it offers the best views. Also, be sure to grab a drink and snack at the station cafe before you depart. The selection is better.

Great trip. Very good narration. Beautiful scenery. Be sure to sit on the left side. That’s where the view is both directions. The nice people sitting across from us switched seats with us. Enjoyed the experience!

It was a nice short train ride and 3 stops for taking pictures.
However the train goes in one direction back and fro. The customers on left side gets the scenery twice. The train does not require rotation and the customers stuck on the right side saw very limited scenery.

Amazing trip on train from Stockholm to Narvik , Norway. Left Stockholm
Central Station at 6pm. We originally paid for 2 seats but when we inquired if there were any couchettes available, we were able to upgrade our 2 seats for a 3 person couchette (for only the 2 of us) for $180 which was really worth it! 18 hour trip, 3 hours of darkness ….it was amazing & the views just got better & better as we got closer to Norway. Absolutely beautiful trip. Staff was helpful, bar cart, & beds were comfy with down comforters & pillows. Sink in room, vented window, luggage storage cubby & bathrooms at both ends of wagon. Highly recommend this incredible train trip!

Uansett tid, sesong eller vær. En togtur til Bjørnfjell er aldri feil. Passer perfekt for familier med barn som liker tog. Passe langt. Hyggelig personale. Mye å se underveis. Imponerende byggverk.
