Direct train to Austria in the winter 2024/25

Boarding the night train is the start of your adventure. You can choose between different comfort levels, but if you are traveling together we recommend booking a Private Compartment for the best travel experience.

Seat – the budget-friendly option

You have a reserved seat in a open salon coach.

Private Compartment – if you travel together

In each compartment, there is room for six persons. Each compartment is equipped with a duvet, pillow and bed linen. The beds are 180 cm long and at least 60 cm wide. The compartment door cannot be locked from the outside, only from the inside. 

There are no set rules for quiet time, but in general it should be quiet enough for those who want to sleep at 22.

Berth in shared compartment

You share a compartment with 6 berths with other passengers.

A suitcase, a ski boot bag and a hand luggage per person may be brought. Do not pack in a large suitcase for the whole party,  divide it instead into several bags, so it is easier to stow your luggage on board.

If you travel with in price level seat, the luggage should be placed under the chair in front of you and on the shelf above. There is a luggage rack at one end of the coach for larger bags.

If you travel in pricelevel berth in shared compartment or in your Private Compartment, the luggage is placed on shelf (1 in the picture below) and under the lower bed (2 in the picture below). If you book your own compartment, it is also possible to use an empty bed for luggage or skis.

Pre-book ski check-in! The availability of check-in is limited and costs SEK 598 for a round trip. Maximum weight of the ski bag is 10 kg. Ski boots should be placed at your seat/compartment. If you travel in the price level seat or berth in shared compartment, you must check in your skis.

When you purchase a ticket on Snälltåget.se, you can rebook your ticket if you cancel at least 24 hours before departure (or 7 days before for a private compartment on night trains). Refundable tickets are also available for an additional fee.

For package tours including Snälltåget, the tour operator's terms for cancellation and refund apply.

For journeys with Snälltåget's night trains to Austria, train numbers 304/305, special ticket rules apply. The journey can only be purchased as a return trip, and it is not possible to cancel only one of the trips. This also applies to connecting routes that the customer has purchased in the same booking.

Snälltåget uses green energy from water, wind and sun to reduce the environmental impact of your journey.

A train journey for one person from Malmö or Copenhagen to Zell am See back and forth means an emission of about 1.2 kg CO2. In this calculation we have included the losses in the electricity network and the impact that the various renewable power sources have on the environment.

A flight Kastrup–Innsbruck / Salzburg with SAS A320NEO equals 267 kg CO2, but then there is a bus transfer is added on top of that. The same trip with a petrol-powered Volvo V60 corresponds to 128 kg CO2 per person with four people in the car. A bus that runs on fossil-free HVO fuel emits about 8 kg of CO2 per person.

Interrail is only valid for travelling in a seat. However, we sell last minute tickets for Berth in shared compartment (24 hours before departure) and Private compartment (7 days before departure) subject to availability.

You need a reservation to travel with Interrail.
