Inghams hails return of ski train next winter with increased allocation

Inghams Ski managing director John Mansell said a quarter of the operator’s resorts were now accessible by train, with new options to Morzine and Avoriaz.

“We’re delighted Eurostar has extended its snow train timetable this coming winter to include dates over half-term and are proud to announce that we’ve expanded our partnership for the season ahead,” he said. “Train travel isn’t a flash in the pan. Last year’s sell-out showed us and the entire industry the demand is real.”

He added the UK government needed to do more to encourage rail travel abroad. “We now urgently need better support for inter-European train travel from the UK; policies to help with price and infrastructure, making it more accessible to customers outside of London and the South East too.”

Eurostar confirmed the return of its snow service for the 2024/24 winter season on Tuesday (9 July), with trains departing from 21 December. In total, it will put on 11 weekend departures throughout the season, up from eight last year.

Services will call in Chambery, Albertville, Moutiers, Aime La Plagne, Landry, and Bourg-Saint-Maurice. Fares are available now and lead in from £139pp one-way.
