Direct train to Austria in summer 2025

Boarding Snälltåget's night train is the start of your adventure. You can choose between different comfort levels, but if you are traveling together, the best experience is to buy your own compartment.

Seat – the budget-friendly option

You have a reserved seat in a coach.

Private Compartment – if you travel together

In each compartment, there is room for six persons. Each compartment is equipped with a duvet, pillow and bed linen. The beds are 180 cm long and at least 60 cm wide. The compartment door cannot be locked from the outside, only from the inside. 

There are no set rules for quiet time, but in general it should be quiet enough for those who want to sleep at 22.

Berth in shared compartment

You share a compartment with 6 berths with other passengers.

You are allowed one suitcase and one carry-on per person. Do not pack all your group’s luggage into a single large suitcase, instead divide it into several bags to make it easier to store on board.

If you are travelling in the seat car, your luggage will be stored under the seat in front of you and on the overhead rack. There is also a luggage rack at one end of the carriage for larger bags.

If you are travelling in a shared compartment or a private compartment, you can store your luggage on the overhead rack or under the lower bed (see the image below). If you book a private compartment, you can also use an empty bed for your luggage or skis.

Pre-book baggage check-in if you have a lot of luggage. Space is limited and costs 498 SEK return.

For travel with Snälltåget’s night train to Austria, train number 304/305, there are also special ticket rules. The trip can only be purchased as a return journey, and it’s not possible to cancel just one leg of the journey. This also applies to connecting legs purchased in a single booking.

No, it’s not possible to travel with pets on our trains to and from Austria.

This is because there are the stops at the stations are not long enough on this route, and therefore provide no opportunities to let dogs or other pets out of the train, making the journey an impractical option for pets.

Snälltåget purchases renewable electricity (hydropower, wind power, solar power) to minimise the climate impact of your journey.

A round-trip train journey for one person from Malmö/Copenhagen to Zell am See results in an emission of approximately 1.2 kg of CO2, including losses in the electricity grid and the impact of the various renewable energy sources used.

A flight from Kastrup to Innsbruck/Salzburg with an SAS A320NEO corresponds to 267 kg of CO2, but this does not include transfer emissions. The same trip by petrol-driven Volvo V60 results in 128 kg of CO2 per person with four people in the car. A bus running on fossil-free HVO fuel emits about 8 kg of CO2 per person.

Interrail gælder kun for rejse i siddeplads, undtagen for afgangen fra Østrig den 5. juli 2025 og afgangen til Østrig den 25. juli 2025, hvor det også er muligt at booke og rejse med et Interrail-pass i andre komfortniveauer end siddeplads.

Vi sælger også sidste minut-billetter til Bædden i delt kupe (24 timer før afgang) og Egen kupe (7 dage før afgang), afhængig af tilgængelighed.
