Inlandsbanemuseet
Inlandsbanemuseet in Sorsele, Swedish Lapland

Organisation/Company:

Västerbotten Tourist Board

The Inlandsbanemuseet tells the story of one of the world’s great train journeys; the Inlandsbanan, from Kristinehamn in the south of Sweden to Gällivare in the north. The museum is housed in a disused railway stationhouse in Sorsele in Lapland.

The Inlandsbanan is an extraordinary 1,289 km-long train trip that takes you from the flatlands of the south to the rugged wilderness of the polar circle.

The Inlandsbanemuseet tells the story of the building of the railway at the beginning of the 20th century and visions of new cities that would be built around it. At the time this was ‘frontier country’ and the museum depicts the lives and stories of the people who worked on the building of the railway and on the trains. It is also filled with interesting and culturally vital railway artifacts and paraphernalia of bygone days.

Make the Inlandsbanemuseet one of your stop-offs on this rail journey of a lifetime.


Northern Sweden

Northern Sweden is a vast landscape of towering alpine peaks and endless vistas of pine forest, Polar plains, meadows and glaciers. Its eastern edge is fringed by a rolling coastline, peppered by islands and skerries. No description of Northern Sweden is complete without mentioning Swedish Lapland - Europe’s last remaining wilderness.

Lovers of the outdoors life will love northern Sweden’s legendary national parks; Abisko and Sarek being two outstanding examples. Northern Sweden is also the ancestral home of the Sami, the indigenous people of the region, whose unique traditions and culture thankfully thrive today. Bear, elk, the wolverine, the golden eagle and the rare Arctic Fox have their home here in Northern Sweden. As if these natural riches were not enough, this the land of the Midnight Sun and the staggeringly beautiful Northern Lights,

We could go on – and on.
