Getting here

Go to Riksgränsen & Björkliden

By train

Get on the train in the evening in Stockholm or Gothenburg and wake up in a fantastic mountain environment the next day. You will arrive in Riksgränsen at lunchtime. SJ operates the route and the journey between Stockholm and Riksgränsen takes around 18 hours. You can also take the Arctic Train from Narvik, Norway's northernmost train route, through breathtaking Arctic landscapes with panoramic views of mountains and fjords. The train station in Riksgränsen is located right in the heart of the village, only about 150 meters from the Meteorologist.

Via car

Take the E4 north, turn left in Töre and then continue on the E10 towards Kiruna and Narvik. You will find us just before the Norwegian border.

By air

There are daily flights from Stockholm and Copenhagen to Kiruna Airport, followed by a 90-minute transfer. Alternatively, you can fly to Evenes Airport and drive for 75 minutes. Arriving at Riksgränsen via the E10 is equally beautiful from both directions.
