Snow Train Holidays
The Rail Europe Snow Train is the number 1 transportation choice of thousands of skiers and snowboarders looking to travel to the French Alps for a skiing holiday every season. One of the many reasons that rail travel to the French Alps has become so popular for winter sport travel is due to the environmental impact of airlines compared to the much more environmentally friendly snow train.
Reducing carbon footprint is becoming more and more important to lovers of winter ski holidays as if global warming continues at it's current rate skiing holidays may be a thing of the past. There are a number of additional reasons why travelling on the snow train is a popular choice. Taking the train to the mountains is convenient and can deliver you to the heart of the French Alps in comfort with no additional fees for transporting ski equipment.
Arriving on the Saturday first thing to enjoy the fresh powder and departing last thing the following Saturday you can maximise your time on the snow.
You can even indulge in sore premature apres ski or a meal en route and the food is miles better than plane food.
