Eurostar Snow Train

Travel by train this winter on the Eurostar

Eurostar is back for the second year running with its fantastic ski train. The Eurostar Snow train for the 2024/25 ski season can be booked as part of Inghams package holiday and we here at Inghams are on-board for this journey, because it’s smoother, simpler, and takes you straight to the slopes without the airport stress. Sit back, relax, and let your ski holiday start the moment you board.

Rewarding

Enjoy the spectacular views as you travel across Europe to the stunning town of Bourg-Saint-Maurice. With comfy seats and generous legroom, you can sit back and relax or even sleep while the countryside passes you by.

Train travel is ideal with a family. With the Eurostar Snow train, there is always plenty of room, so toys and games to entertain your children is not an issue space wise. Plus, if you don’t want to pack a picnic, the trains on-board Cafe provides a variety of food and drink.

The biggest reward travelling via Eurostar Snow is that you get extra time on the slopes. The train departs home again from Bourg-Saint-Maurice on Sundays mornings, returning to London St Pancras International the same afternoon. This means you have an extra full day of skiing on Saturdays.

Relaxing 

Once on-board, you can just enjoy the journey and service provided by the Eurostar Snow train. On an Inghams ski holiday, your transfers are covered from when you arrive in Bourg-St-Maurice to your chosen resort, as well as your hotel (the lovely Base Camp Lodge) being included for the Saturday evening before your return home.

The great thing about train travel is there is no weight limit on bags as with airlines or no limited space as with your car, so you can pack what you like and not just what you need. So, make the most of this and add those extra thermal layers or spare pair of goggles to your suitcase. With Eurostar Snow offering generous luggage allowance, each traveller can have two suitcases, one piece of hand luggage and skis or snowboard at no extra cost.

Eurostar Snow makes a quiet stop at Lille. Here, it leaves you plenty of time to get off, help your children, and gather your bags and walk across the platform to your waiting connection. 

Reachable
