"The French alps are home to some of the best skiing in Europe-and the glitziest resorts. This winter, it's easier than ever for travelers to access the region's charming towns and scenic mountainscapes via high-speed rail. Earlier this year, Eurostar announced that Eurostar Snow would be returning for the 2025-2026 winter season with convenient weekend departures from major cities like London and Amsterdam. A sustainable and immersive alternative to flying, the special winter routes offer stunning alpine views and seamless connections."
"The routes Eurostar Snow journeys from London St Pancras International to Bourg-Saint-Maurice first travel to the charming French city of Lille, where passengers can then make a simple transfer to the French Alps. On its way to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, which acts as the gateway to resorts including Tignes and Val-d'Isère, the train stops at Chambéry, Albertville, Moûtiers, Aime-La-Plagne, and Landry. Each stop acts as a gateway to resorts via a drive that's considerably shorter than airport transfers tend to be."
