Get the train…
The Eurostar train is a great way of travelling and it can be a time efficient and hassle free journey, particularly if it’s easy for you to get to the new St Pancras station, London or Ashford in Kent. It’s a comfortable and relaxing way to get to the Alps without the stress of the airports. There are usually no changes throughout the journey and you arrive in Aime or Bourg St. Maurice, only 15-40 minutes from the ski chalets! (15 mins Aime to Eagles Nest, 40 mins Bourg to La Rosiere or Sainte Foy, 15 mins Moutiers to Mont d´Or). We will greet you at the station. The provisional timetable is listed below.
