Train Travel to and from Narvik FAQ and Tips

What are the main train stations in Narvik?

Narvik has one main passenger station: Narvik station. It is the terminus of the Ofoten Line in Norway and the departure point for trains toward Bjornfjell, Abisko, Kiruna, and onward Swedish destinations. All scheduled passenger rail services in Narvik use this station, so travelers do not need to transfer between separate long-distance and regional rail terminals.

Should I reserve seats on trains from Narvik?

Reservations depend on the service selected from Narvik. Long-distance Swedish trains and overnight trains normally use assigned seats, couchettes, or sleeper cabins, so booking ahead is recommended. Regional daytime services may have simpler ticketing, but reservations can still apply on some departures. For winter holidays and peak summer travel, book early because the Narvik route has limited train frequency.

What is the main train route from Narvik?

The main rail route from Narvik is the Ofoten Line east to Sweden, especially the Narvik to Kiruna corridor.

Do high-speed trains serve Narvik?

No. Narvik is not served by high-speed rail or bullet trains. Passenger trains use the Ofoten Line, a mountain railway linking Narvik with the Swedish rail network. Services are mainly regional cross-border trains, long-distance Swedish trains, and Arctic Train departures. Narvik's rail value is its direct international connection through Arctic terrain rather than speed.

What are the main train connections to and from Narvik?

Is there an airport train to Narvik?

There is no airport rail link to Narvik Airport. Narvik station is in the city, while airport transfers are handled by road transport. Travelers arriving by air and continuing by rail should allow transfer time to Narvik station before boarding trains on the Ofoten Line. For longer rail-air combinations, many passengers also use Swedish rail connections through Kiruna or Lulea.

Can I buy Narvik train tickets at the last minute?
