Rail travel on the Ofoten Line is the primary transport mode for this mountainous border crossing. While regional buses exist, the train offers a direct connection between the town center and the mountain resort. There are no flights between Narvik and Riksgränsen due to the short distance, and the train remains the most reliable year-round option during heavy winter snowfall.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
