Take a train from London to Bourg-Saint-Maurice via Lille
Step onto the Eurostar Snow train, departing every Saturday throughout winter, and glide to wonderful ski resorts in hours.
Set off from London St Pancras International, grab a connection at Lille Europe, and hop off at Chambéry, Albertville, Moûtiers-Salins-Brides-Les-Bains, Aime-la-Plagne, or Bourg-Saint-Maurice – all without getting stuck in traffic. It’s just that simple. And when you make your way home, you can sit back and relax on a Sunday return trip.
Take the train to Bourg-Saint-Maurice
Taking Eurostar from London to the French Alps is easy and effortless.
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 Sunday. But be sure to jump on your Eurostar train at least 20 minutes before departure. You’ll then need to go through border control and security before you board your Eurostar train at Lille Europe.
Arriving at Bourg-Saint-Maurice
Eurostar trains arrive at Bourg-Saint-Maurice station, right in the heart of ski country.
There, you’ll find coaches to Val Thorens, Val d'Isère, Courchevel, La Tania, Tignes, Meribel and Les Menuires.
All passport checks are done in the UK, so you can grab your bags and equipment and step straight off the train and onto a coach, no time wasted.
Slope off to Bourg-Saint-Maurice
Whether you’re a skier or boarder, beginner or pro, Bourg-Saint-Maurice is the ideal destination, with Les Arcs, La Plagne and the Paradiski area within easy reach of the town.
