ONE for the fans of winter sports; Eurostar will open ticket sales for its direct ski services from St Pancras and Ashford to the French Alps on Wednesday, July 16.
Eurostar provides two direct services a week to Bourg St Maurice, both calling en route at Moûtiers and Aime-La-Plagne, with the overnight service allowing skiers to enjoy more time on the slopes.
The trains offer access to a variety of ski destinations in the French Alps such as Courchevel, La Plagne, Tignes, Méribel, Les Arcs and allow advanced skiers, families or beginners to select a resort tailored to their needs.
Simon Montague, of Eurostar, said: “These services are very popular year on year as our travellers greatly value the seamless travel and their arrival in the stations located high in the French Alps, close to their resorts.”
