The ever-popular Eurostar Direct Ski Train. There are two Eurostar Direct Ski trains that run weekly during the winter skiing of 2009 / 2010 from London St Pancras or Ashford International station direct to 3 stations in the French Alps: Moûtiers, Aime La Plagne and Bourg-St-Maurice. The overnight train service from January to April leaves the UK on a Friday night and arrives in the heart of the mountains early on a Saturday morning in time to hit the snow slopes. The High-speed Rail day service from December to April arrives in just 7 and a half hours, travelling throughout the day on a Saturday. Seats on Eurostar Direct Ski trains can be booked from Tuesday 7th July 2009. Prices start from £149 return per person. Please note: Early booking is recommended during school holidays in December as the cheapest peak ski dates book up quickly.
EUROSTAR plus a connecting TGV or OVERNIGHT TRAIN. Alternatively take the Eurostar train from London St Pancras (next to Kings Cross and Euston) to Paris or Lille, then a connecting French day or overnight service to the heart of the French mountains. Many high-speed day trains and overnight trains from Paris operate daily during the winter months. Overnight rail services offer reclining seats or flat-bed couchette accommodation for a more comfortable journey. High-speed day services offer many connections with regional trains to provide a comprehensive and flexible rail service to the Alps in France, Switzerland, Austria and Italy.
