Snow train to Méribel

Did you know that the carbon footprint of a trip by plane to a ski resort is up to ten times greater than the equivalent rail journey? Well, information about train travel to ski resorts can be found at www.snowcarbon.co.uk. The website explains how to book rail journeys and how to get the best fares.

Travelling by train from the UK to European ski resorts is comfortable and stress-free – and children under four travel free. Some resorts can be reached directly from London without a change of train, including Tignes, Méribel and Courchevel.

The site also includes a section on changing trains in Paris, resort restaurant guides, advice on where to stay and childcare.

Our Ski & activity section has many more brilliant suggestions and advice.
