Dear Traveller,
As always we keep our promises so here’s your early reminder that €urostar ski train tickets go on sale soon.
The days and months have flown by and it’s time to start thinking ski, snow and salopettes. Tickets for the 2007/08 ski season go on sale on 24 July,
but we’re giving you a week’s head start and you can book your hotly anticipated seat for the slopes from 17 July.
The first service leaves St Pancras International on 22 December 2007,
with trains running all the way up to 13 April 2008.
It will be our first ski service, travelling on High Speed 1, departing from
St Pancras International which will reduce journey times by at least 20 minutes each way. Click here to find out more.
It’s also a green ski season. From 14 November 2007, Eurostar services will be carbon neutral at no extra cost to you, keeping your CO2 emissions
(and your impact on the planet) as low as possible.
And not forgetting it’s 10 years since our first ski train took skiers to the Alps. So happy birthday to us!

I'd like to see some prices as I'll be using trains more this season, I think. I think the changeover in Paris keeps the price down so it will be interesting to see a comparisson.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I'm thinking about booking an Ashford to Moutiers return. Can anyone remember the approximate times of the day and night trains last season?

Have any SCGB members taken advantage of this offer before? Is it worth joining the SCBG for it? As it seems that a potential £60 saving on the eurostar ticket is available and SCGB membership is only £50pa.

hd,
Typically, I have used a 0900-0930 from Ashford to Paris, cross over and got a TGV from Austerlitz at about 1400.
You can get a later afternoon train into Paris to catch an overnighter at around 2230. to arrive in Moutier, Aime or BSM at 0815-ish
I would be looking at a return to Ashford via a Paris changeover and TGV to the alpes for about £140

The €urostar website says that Ashford station will serve the French Alps (see bottom of that page).

Ummm? Any way to post links to €urostar website without the auto-linker kicking in and killing the link?
|

You know it makes sense.
|
|
The first part up to the capital E of Eurostar links to the wanted site.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

Eurostar Ebbsfleet link
Yes that's how to do it. You replace the capital 'E' of Eurostar with E and that auto replacer can't read it & therefore leaves it alone. In the URL you can use E or the lowercase e , it doesn't matter.
E = E
e = e
