Award-winning French Alps ski specialist, Peak Retreats, has launched a selection of ski holidays by Eurostar Snow train. The holidays are on sale now and include travel by train to a choice of resorts and accommodation that are all easily reachable by rail.
Skiers can take the Eurostar Snow train from London St Pancras down to Albertville, Moutiers or Bourg St Maurice with a simple platform change in Lille, allowing for easy access to resorts across the French Alps including Les Menuires, Sainte Foy and Les Saisies, via a taxi transfer.
“Taking the train to the French Alps is not only a more sustainable choice than flying but also offers greater convenience. Travelling by train brings skiers closer to the resort and turns the journey into part of the adventure. It can work out more cost-effective than flying, especially for those who take their own skis, with no extra cost for ski carriage.
“We’ve seen growing interest from skiers keen to try this option, so we’ve made it even easier to book with these packages,” said Alison Willis, General Manager, Peak Retreats.
