Sweating? Cool off with Rail Europe’s ski trains – now on sale!

Paris, 10 July 2025 – As summer temperatures soar, thoughts of crisp mountain air and fresh snow become even more tempting. From today, winter lovers can book their Eurostar Snow train tickets to the French Alps for the 2025/2026 season via RailEurope.com. 

Departing from London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Antwerp, the Snow Train offers a more conscious way to travel — cutting emissions while crossing some of Europe’s most scenic winter landscapes. With no traffic jams or airport queues, travellers arrive in the Alps relaxed and ready, without ever setting foot in a car. 

This newly rebranded Eurostar service operates every Saturday throughout the season, linking London St Pancras with six Alpine stations — including Moûtiers, Aime-la-Plagne and Bourg-Saint-Maurice — via a smooth connection in Lille Europe. Return journeys from Bourg-Saint-Maurice run on Sundays, making it easy to plan a full week on the slopes. From the train stations, ski resorts like Les Arcs, La Plagne, Tignes and Val d’Isère are just a shuttle or funicular ride away. 

More than just a train, the Snow Train is part of a growing movement: travellers choosing rail over road or air, not only for comfort but because it’s a better choice for the planet. At Rail Europe, we believe the journey should be as responsible as the destination — and this is rail travel at its best: scenic, simple and sustainable.
