Night train to the Jämtland mountains
Snälltåget’s night train takes you comfortably and directly from southern Sweden to the Jämtland mountain. The train departs from Malmö on Wednesday and Saturday afternoon/evening, passing through Lund, Hässleholm, Alvesta, Nässjö, Linköping, Norrköping, Stockholm, and Uppsala, arriving at the mountains the following morning. In Enafors, there is a transfer bus to Storulvån. In Undersåker there is a transfer bus to Edsåsdalen and Vålådalen. There is also a transfer bus to and from Ramundberget during certain weeks in summer and all winter long. You can purchase a ticket all the way to your destination at Snälltågets homepage.

Daily departures to Copenhagen
As a member, you can also travel at a discounted rate directly between the two largest cities in the Nordics—Stockholm and Copenhagen. There are two daily departures in each direction throughout the summer.
Train and transfer to beautiful Tjärö
Another tip is to take Snälltåget and its transfer bus to the beautiful Tjärö, a gem between sky and sea in the heart of the Blekinge archipelago. The entire island is preserved in a 1700s and 1800s setting, making you feel like you’ve stepped straight into an Astrid Lindgren fairy tale. Between June 20 and August 18, trains run from Stockholm to Alvesta, and from there, a bus transfer to Karlshamn, just 230 meters from the ferry to Tjärö. You can find the ferry schedules here.
