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.
