Can I get to Courchevel by train from the UK?

featured in Resort FAQs Updated

Yes you can and the so called "Snow train" is a popular way to travel to resort, especially if luggage allowance might be an issue with a flight. Eurostar runs a weekly direct route from London St Pancras to Moutiers. No changes are needed and it travels overnight meaning you get an extra days skiing. You arrive early Saturday morning and depart again on Saturday evening giving you 8 days on the slopes should you wish.

Don't expect a great deal of sleep though as its not the comfiest ride and drinks are served throughout the night so it can become a bit of a part wagon. But with transfers considered it can actually be a convenient and fast way to arrive, especially as it meets the public bus in Moutiers to take you up to resort.

There is also a day option but this would mean a transfer in Paris and a tube connection which isn't always easy lugging skis about. Read more in...How to Get Here.
