Eurostar has launched a new train service from London St Pancras to several stations in the Alps via Lille, with tickets from £99 including two suitcases, one piece of hand luggage and skis or snowboard at no extra cost
Eurostar has launched new train routes that’ll take snow lovers from London to the Alps for less than £100.
The Eurostar Snow service will go from the English capital to Lille where passengers change to the rail company’s continental service which will take them into the mountains. Tickets went on sale on 31 August and can be purchased on the Eurostar website.
The new service offers customers a hassle-free and sustainable alternative to flying with more stops in the Alps than ever before. Eurostar Snow will whisk travellers to top ski resorts, such as Chambéry, Albertville, Moutiers, Aime-La Plagne, before arriving in Bourg-Saint-Maurice as its final destination.
Departing from London on 16 December, the service will run for eight weekends throughout the ski season. Leaving on Saturday morning, the train will arrive at the slopes in time for après-ski. The journey back to London will depart Sunday morning, arriving at St Pancras International in the afternoon.
