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 from Bourg-Saint-Maurice on Sundays at 8:30am, returning to London St Pancras International at 4pm. This means you have an extra full day of skiing on Saturdays.

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, itt leaves you plenty of time to get off, help your children, and gather your bags and walk across the platform to your waiting connection.
