Hitting the slopes is a go-to winter getaway for loads of travellers, but it can be quite the hassle to organise – there’s your transport and accommodation, then all your equipment, ski passes, and packing a shed load of layers to worry about.
However, a shiny new night train is set to launch this winter, and it’s making the whole process a hell of a lot easier.
The Travelski Night Express, which has been developed with Pegasus Trains (part of Compagnie des Alpes) is a new winter sleeper service that will whisk skiers from Paris to Bourg-Saint-Maurice in under 10 hours.
Courchevel, Les Arcs, La Plagne, Tignes, Méribel, Val d’Isère, Val Thorens and Les Ménuires will be stopped at en route, and it looks like services will be departing on Friday evenings and arriving early Saturday mornings, before returning to the capital on Sundays.
The trains feature 660 couchettes, a bar carriage and a restaurant, and 14 round trips will run from December 19, 2025 to March 20, 2026, reports Paris Secret.
But it’s not just the train ticket that’s included – the company is also offering all-inclusive package deals. The complete option covers your train ticket, transfers to the resort of your choice, accommodation, ski pass and ski equipment.
Then there’s the option to add on ski lessons, courses, plus accommodation extras like having your bed made upon arrival. Posh, right?
