EUROSTAR has relaunched their winter snow trains this winter.
Eurostar Snow is their ski train that launches during the peak season to connect passengers to popular resorts.
Destinations include Chambéry, Albertville, Moutiers, Aime-La-Plagne, Landry, and Bourg St Maurice.
Anyone arriving at Bourg St Maurice will find coaches to resorts including Val Thorens, Val d’Isère, Courchevel, La Tania, Tignes, Meribel, or Les Menuires.
Brits will have to travel from London St Pancras to Lille, and make a simple change there.
The trains operate every Saturday morning at 9:01am, with the first train departing on December 20.
The last train of the season from London to the ski resorts will be on March 28.
The return trips take place on Sunday, departing Bourg-Saint-Maurice at 10.54am and 1.45pm until April 4.
The journey takes around eight hours from London, with the return journey around nine hours.
Passengers can take a lot of luggage onboard too, which is great news for skiiers.
This includes two pieces of luggage up to 85cm, as well as one piece of hand luggage and either skis or a snowboard.
There is also food and drink at the Eurostar Cafe, and free WiFi onboard although can be very patchy in the tunnels.
Passenger can even bring their own booze onboard but there are limits – one 750ml bottle of wine or four 440ml beers or ciders.
All passport checks are done in the UK so you can head straight to the resort when you arrive.
And if you’re wondering about passport checks, they’re all done in the UK. You can just grab your bags and skis and step straight off the train and onto a coach.
Eurostar once had train routes to other places in Europe.
Eurostar once travelled to Marseille, taking six hours, although this was scrapped in Marseille.
A direct route from the UK also went to Lyon, taking four and half hours.
This ran four times a week in the summer from 2002 to 2014 before becoming permanent, only to be scrapped in 2018.
The UK to Avignon was scrapped in 2020 after 18 years, while direct trains to Disneyland Paris have also been scrapped.
The only two French routes remaining are Paris and Lille.
Here are some new routes Eurostar could soon be launching.
