Make the journey part of your holiday with these easy-to-reach Alpine resorts by train
Travelling to the French Alps by train in summer is a relaxed, scenic and environmentally friendly way to start your holiday. Take the Eurostar from the UK to Paris, then connect to a high-speed TGV service bound for the Alps. With lower carbon emissions than flying and no mountain roads to navigate, it's an enjoyable and stress-free way to reach the mountains.
The journey itself is all part of the experience. Break your trip with time in Paris, settle into your seat with a good book, spend quality time together as a family or simply watch the scenery unfold outside your window. From rolling countryside, rivers and lakes to your first glimpse of Alpine peaks, travelling by rail lets you enjoy every stage of the journey. These resorts are among the easiest to reach by train, making them ideal for a leisurely summer escape to the French Alps.
