Tailor Made Train Packages

For those of you who prefer to leave their car at home and enjoy some of France’s prettiest landscapes, the train is a good alternative.

We can arrange two train options – direct Ski Train or Eurostar Beyond (with a change at Paris).

Ski Train

The Ski Train runs between 17th December 2011 and 14th April 2012. Travel from London St Pancras (or Ashford International) direct to Moutiers or Bourg St Maurice. You can either travel on Friday night (allowing you to spend all day on piste Saturday) or Saturday morning (arriving in time for an evening meal). Return Saturday morning or night. Please note these are NOT sleeper trains.

- Bourg St Maurice serves the Paradiski and Espace Killy areas well (Paradiski – Peisey-Vallandry (Les Arcs), Montchavin-Les Coches (La Plagnes + Espace Killy – Tignes (Les Brevieres), Sainte-Foy + La Rosiere).

- Moutiers is suited to the 3 Valleys ski area and part of Paradiski (Paradiski – Champagny + 3 Valleys – Brides les Bains (Meribel).

Guideline Transfer Distances

Moutiers – Brides les Bains is 6km

Moutiers – Champagny is 18km

Bourg St Maurice – Peisey is 19km

Bourg St Maurice – Montchavin-Les Coches is 15km

Bourg St Maurice – Tignes is 31km

Bourg St Maurice – Sainte-Foy is 12km

The night train outward runs from 23rd December 2011 – 13th April 2012.

The day train runs outward from 17th December 2011 –14th April 2012.

It’s worth bearing in mind that if you take the evening train both ways then you will benefit from 8 days of skiing instead of the usual 6.
