For those who prefer to leave the car at home and enjoy some stunning scenery, the train is a great alternative. We can book the NEW Eurostar Snow Train from London to the French Alps with a simple change in Lille. Or take the Eurostar to Paris or Lille and then change to a French high-speed TGV and speed down to the Alps.
With shorter transfers than from most airports, travelling by train means you can get closer to resort.
Head to Bourg St Maurice to access resorts in the Paradiski and Tarentaise areas: Paradiski – Peisey-Vallandry, Les Arcs, La Plagne, Les Coches (La Plagne), Tarentaise – Tignes and Val d'Isère, Sainte-Foy and La Rosiere).
Travel to Moutiers for the 3 Valleys ski area, including St Martin de Belleville, Méribel, Val Thorens, Les Menuires, La Tania and Courchevel, and Champagny (Paradiski).
On each resort page in the access section we let you know the closest train station.

Why take the ski train vs flying?
Many people assume flying down to the Alps is the easiest and quickest option but actually taking the train can sometimes take less time and has far more perks. Although it might not suit everyone, it's definitely worth considering. Read more about what it can offer your party - you may be surprised!
1. Excellent value compared to flying on peak dates
Eurostar + TGV ticket prices are generally cheaper on peak dates than flying. When checked against a major airline for the same date and similar times it was almost twice the price for adults and almost three times the price for children.
2. Free ski carriage
Pay absolutely nothing for your ski carriage while on board Eurostar. Airlines can charge in excess of £70 per item. On Eurostar you can take up to 2 bags, 85cm long each, 1 piece of hand luggage and 1 pair of skis and snowboard per person. There is no weight restriction on luggage either (or restrictions on liquids, apart from alcohol), so you don't have to worry about sticking to your 20kg; just keep an eye on the size of bag (as above).
3. Enjoy the stunning French scenery
Looking out at the French countryside flying by from a train window certainly beats the view from a plane window on a cloudy day - you could even play a game of eye spy with the kids!
4. It's quicker than flying
Okay, so maybe not every route is quicker, but a lot depends on where you stay. The train is super convenient for Les Arcs for example. If you taken into account the time you take to get to the airport, check in, queue for security, wait in departures, take the flight, go back through security the other side, collect your luggage, get your transfer...you get the picture, with the train you can miss out a few of these steps and enjoy your journey.
5. Great for kids
Taking the train definitely gives children a bit more freedom. There is plenty of space, more leg room and wider aisles. On some of the newer trains, there is also on board WiFi - that will keep the whole family happy.
6. On-board cafes
The on-board buffet serves snacks, hot meals and hot and cold drinks, perfect for grabbing a bite to eat and stretching your legs!
