High-speed and direct train to the French Alps
Hop on our Eurostar Snow train and arrive rested and ready to hit the slopes – all without getting stuck in traffic. Kick back in comfort and sip a drink with friends and family while we bring you directly to the heart of the French Alps.
Depart on a Saturday morning from Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Brussels or Antwerp and be on the slopes in the afternoon. For the return journey, you can depart on a Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning.
Ideal for family trips
Leave your car at home and say goodbye to travel tantrums and wrong turns.
Our free onboard wi-fi will keep everyone entertained, and power sockets will keep you charged up. Toilets are just a short walk from your seat and all of our trains have baby-changing facilities.
Feeling peckish? If you’re travelling in Eurostar Premier, you’ll be given some tasty snacks to munch on. Otherwise, you can pop to Eurostar Café and grab a snack or drink.
Just be aware that some trains will have a vending machine instead of a full buffet bar. If you want to make sure you have plenty of food and drink with you, we suggest you bring your own.
And we also offer special rates for kids – helping you keep a little extra weight in your wallet or purse.Â
Don't worry about your luggage
We know skiing holidays involve lots of luggage and we’re here to help. You don’t need to pay any hidden fees to bring your luggage on board – it’s all included in your ticket price.
We’ve got plenty of space for bigger bags on board. On Eurostar Standard and Eurostar Plus adults can take up to two pieces of luggage (up to 85cm long), one piece of hand luggage, and skis or a snowboard. If you’re travelling in Eurostar Premier, you can bring the same items, but with three pieces of luggage instead of two. Check our luggage allowances and our rules on sports equipment before you pack.
There’s no weight limit on your luggage. All we ask is that you’re able to transport your bags safely on and off the train and that they’re stored out of harm’s way in our dedicated areas. And don’t forget to label your luggage clearly, too.
