Every European winter sports destination is within easy reach when you take the Eurostar from London, Ebbsfleet or Ashford. A quick, convenient connection with a ski train to your chosen destination will deliver you safely and in comfort direct to your resort.

Three great reasons to go by rail

1.   It's totally flexible - You choose when you travel, and there's no time wasted when you travel overnight to your destination.
2.   It's green - Compared to many forms of transport, travelling to the slopes by train leaves a greatly reduced carbon footprint.
3.   It's good value - Prices are great value and there are no hidden extras, such as additional charges for your bulky kit.  

Connections to the French and Swiss Alps

From ultra chic resorts to the best powder in Europe to great value family skiing - the French and Swiss Alps have it all and are easily accessible by train. Eurostar connects with trains taking you to:

Annecy, Briançon, Bourg St Maurice, Chamonix, Val d'Isère, Morzine, Grenoble, Serre Chevalier, St Moritz and Klösters

Connections to the Pyrenees
