Ski Train tickets go on sale in mid-July before the ski season kicks off.
Eurostar’s Ski Train runs directly from London St Pancras and Ashford (Kent) to Moutiers, Aime and Bourg St Maurice in France every Saturday from late December to early April. Usually, during February half term, Eurostar runs an additional service for Sunday-Sunday holidays. Moutiers, Aime and Bourg St Maurice have a wide range of connections with some of the most popular resorts in the Alps, such as Les Arcs, Val d’Isere, Tignes, the Three Valleys, among more.
The overnight service starting from St Pancras takes around 7-8 hours to get to the Alps and then a short transfer to a whole host of brilliant resorts.

While 4 people driving to the Alps from the UK creates less than half the carbon emissions of flying, taking the train to your ski holiday will produce fourteen times less than the plane.
Taking an electric train through France is especially low-carbon because France has the world's highest percentage of nuclear power supplying their energy.
