The direct ‘London to the Alps’ Eurostar route is now firmly established as one of the fastest routes to the slopes, so here’s our guide to letting the ski train take the strain. With the option of travelling by day, you’ll arrive in the same or less time than flying and not have to worry about excess baggage and ski carriage costs, or your carbon footprint melting our ancient glaciers. Keen-beans like our very own SNOman, will gladly brave “sleeping in a chair” to take the overnight snow train, and get eight days skiing for the price of six! Forget stressful airport check-ins and four hour transfers at the other end, because the French Alpine Stations are right there in the mountains, much closer to the best resorts than any airport.
