Imagine combining the Inland
Railway, a unique journey through Sweden’s
pristine wilderness, and Hurtigruten, the world’s most beautiful voyage. Two
tourism jewels in the same package! The journey begins on the Inland Railway
and
goes from Dalarna in the south to Lapland in the north. Meet rich Swedish
culture,
impressive wilderness, peace and tranquillity. Experience the Swedish landscape
in
all its variety; the journey takes you through dense pine forests and on to
expansive
views with mountainous backdrops. From Gällivare the route continues onwards to
Narvik in Norway, a very scenic train ride through national parks, with
Kebnekaise
– Sweden’s highest mountain – in the background, and through Norway’s
precipitous fjords. From Narvik the journey continues with bus to Harstad where
you meet the gateway to the breathtaking and very beautiful Lofoten, mountains
surrounded by the dark waters of the fjords. In Harstad there is an early
morning
start with Hurtigruten cruise liner, past narrow straits and fjords, along
Norway’s
majestic and fascinating coastline down to Trondheim.
