Eurostar has announced its snow train service between London St Pancras and the French Alps, Eurostar Snow, will return for next winter, the 2025/26 ski season. Tickets will go on sale in a month's time.
The service, which involves a train change at Lille, will run for longer next season than last and the company says there'll be a new seven-day return option, alongside the existing eight-day return.
"Travellers can now depart on a Saturday and return the following Saturday or Sunday - providing more flexibility to plan a perfect week in the mountains," a Eurostar statement explains.
The service will run every weekend from December 20th 2025 to April 5th 2026 and tickets will be available from July 10th, with fares starting at £99 each way.
"Passengers will also benefit from a generous luggage allowance, with space for two suitcases, one piece of hand luggage, and skis or a snowboard at no extra cost," the Eurostar statement adds.
