Start your ski holidays with Eurostar Snow
High-speed train to the French Alps
Set off from London St Pancras International, but be sure to get to the station at our recommended arrival time.
When you get to Lille Europe, head up to the main floor and check the departures board. When you’ve found your platform, head back down to platform level, get on your connecting Eurostar train to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, and hop off at your stop.
On your way home, just do the trip in reverse on a Saturday or Sunday. But be sure to arrive at least 20 minutes before departure. When you arrive at Lille Europe for your train to London you’ll need to go through border control and security before you board your Eurostar train.
Ideal for family trips
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 Plus between London and Lille, you’ll be served a meal and drinks at your seat. Otherwise, head to Eurostar Café for a snack or drink.
Just be aware that some trains between Lille and the French Alps 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.

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.
