There is a subtle charm in traveling by train in winter. Outside, the landscapes fade into white and time seems to slow; inside, the gentle glow of warm lights and a steaming cup of tea create a feeling of quiet comfort.
It is a way of experiencing travel that blends elegance with serenity: the silence of the mountains, the steady rhythm of the tracks, the sensation of being suspended between two worlds.
From the Swiss Alpine arc to the snow-covered stretches of Scandinavia, the trains that cross Europe in winter offer truly unique experiences: breathtaking views, timeless comfort, and the enchantment of a journey that becomes a destination in itself.

Arctic Circle Train: beyond the edge of the world

From Stockholm to Narvik, crossing the Arctic Circle, this train travels through one of the most remote and enchanting regions in Europe. The route, stretching over 1,400 kilometers, leads from the forests of central Sweden to the Norwegian fjords, passing through magical Lapland.
Along the way, vast snowy plains, frozen lakes, and small villages appear, lit by tiny lights shimmering in the Arctic darkness. On the clearest nights, the sky comes alive with the Northern Lights, turning the window into a stage of celestial colors.
On board, the warmth of the carriages contrasts with the majestic chill of the landscape outside, making the experience intimate and almost meditative.

Where the mountains touch the sky: aboard the Bernina Express

In the end, each of these trains is far more than a means of travel: it is an invitation to slow down, to look out the window while wintery Europe unfolds as a mosaic of lights and silence.
A journey measured not in kilometers, but in emotions — to be lived, like a dream, on winter’s rails.
