How do you get from Stockholm to Oslo by train?
Which company runs the route and where tickets are sold.
Short answer
Yes, Vy runs trains between Stockholm, Karlstad and Oslo on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, with weekend tickets from SEK 99 on vy.se and in the Vy app. SJ has stopped selling these departures, so book through Vy. The journey time is shown in Vy's journey planner, because the page does not state it.
Why
- Vy says its weekend departures between Stockholm, Karlstad and Oslo run on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, with tickets from SEK 99.
- Vy states that SJ has chosen to stop selling its services between Stockholm and Oslo through SJ's own channels.
- According to Vy, weekend trips can be booked until 12 December 2026, and the SEK 99 offer has a limited number of tickets and runs until further notice.
Details
Vy says timetables can change at short notice and points to its journey planner for departure times. Vy's Norwegian site also says direct trains run on Saturdays and Sundays between central Oslo and central Karlstad.

Tip
Search and book on vy.se or in the Vy app, since SJ does not sell these departures. Other ways to travel between the two countries are in the guide to international buses and trains.
What may differ
Starting from Gothenburg instead, Snälltåget launched a daily train from Oslo S via Gothenburg to Malmö C on 15 June 2026, and Vy publishes its own Oslo-Gothenburg-Malmö timetable.
Common misconception
You can buy every Swedish train ticket on SJ's site, including Stockholm-Oslo.
What actually happens
Vy says SJ has chosen to stop selling Vy's Stockholm-Oslo departures through its channels, so those tickets are bought from Vy.
