Ski Train to the Alps

Hassle free rail travel to the Alps

Arrive at St Pancras or Ashford and check in 45 minutes before your train departs. Be welcomed aboard by the friendly Eurostar staff and settle down into your comfy seat. Next stop the Alps.

Travel in comfort and at high speed through southern England, dive into the tunnel and watch French landscapes come and go. On board the Eurostar services include a bar and buffet carriage or you can be prepared and carry your own food and drink.

On arrival in the Alps, the train stations are close to the French alpine ski resorts, with most being under an hour’s drive away. So if you’re on the Eurostar overnight service, you could have a lift pass, ski hire sorted and be up on the mountain skiing early on Saturday morning.
