Ski Train Facilities

Choose between the simple style of Standard and the dedicated service and comfort of Standard Premier for your trip to the heart of the Alps.

Standard Premier offers extra spacious carriages plus two light meals and drinks served to your large, comfy seat.

In Standard meanwhile you can purchase a range of food and drink in our on-board bar-buffets and enjoy the view from your reserved seat.

For both classes we recommend you check in at least an hour before departure.

Day Train*
Pack your salopettes on the Friday night and wake up on Saturday fresh and ready to hop on the ski train. Along the way watch the mountain ranges unfurl before your eyes and decide which you’re going to conquer first. You’ll arrive in time for a first night fondue and a glass of vin chaud.

Night Train*
There’s nothing quite like the feeling of getting out of work on a Friday knowing you’re about to embark on an eight-day skiing holiday. Fall into a peaceful slumber on board and wake in the midst of a winter wonderland.

* Check the timetable for the actual train schedule.

In Standard you’ll find everything you need for sale in the bar-buffet. There’s a selection of quick and tasty snacks alongside a variety of wholesome, hearty meals, plus an array of hot and cold, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. The bar-buffet is open until midnight and reopens at 5am for breakfast.

Peckish on the Day Train?
In Standard Premier you’ll be served a light hot lunch with wine, followed by afternoon tea. And if you feel like a little something more, you’ll also find a tempting range of drinks and snacks for sale in the bar-buffet.

Here’s what you can take on board: up to four cans or bottles of beer, or one bottle of wine, or one 50cl bottle of spirits. Any more than that and we could confiscate the excess for the duration of the journey (and destroy it if needs be).

We’re all for raising a toast to the journey, but we also want to make sure everyone can enjoy their journey in peace. That’s why we’ve put a few reasonable limits in place.

It may not be the best news in the world, but at least it will leave you fit to take on the slopes when you arrive fresh-faced and bright-eyed.
