From Trondheim to Sweden
The Meråker line (Meråkerbanen in Norwegian) is Mid-Norway’s fastest way to our neighbor’s in Sweden. This route is a co-operation between Norway and Sweden and is known as “the neighbor train”. The tracks connect Trondheim to the Swedish ski destination favorite Åre, the region centre of Östersund and the Swedish railway network.
The whole route is 70,69 km long and opened in 1881. There has been a noticeable increase on the amount of passengers in the last few years.
Departures with SJ NORD
There are two daily departures each way between Trondheim and Storlien.
The electrification of the Meråker railway
Bane NOR is working on electrifying both the Trønder railway and the Meråker railway.
The day this process is completed will be a highlight for traffic between Norway and Sweden, as it will give a smoother journey towards the Swedish railway, which has been driven electrically for many decades.
