Peak time: trains now departing for the mountains
There is good news and bad for skiers who want to reduce their carbon footprint by taking a train to the slopes. Two long-running services ground to a halt at the end of the 2008/9 season: the venerable Denver ski train, a weekend shuttle service to Winter Park that started in 1940; and Rail Europe's overnight Snow Train to the Tarentaise resorts in France, whose notorious disco carriage made it a rite of passage for young skiers and boarders. The Denver service has been officially declared dead. The Snow Train is, theoretically, just "suspended".
The good news is that there are three railway arrivals this season. The snowcarbon.co.uk website will, from 1 October, offer a range of rail-inclusive ski packages from St Pancras, including transfers from stations to resorts and across Paris; among the tour operators involved are Erna Low and Peak Retreats. For this season the Inghams brochure includes rail travel as an option in its packages to the Milky Way resorts in Italy. And from 29 January-19 March a new, dedicated Snowtrain – to be formally launched next Thursday, 30 September – will run every Saturday from Geneva airport to Brig, with stops at Aigle, Martigny, Sion, Sierre, Leuk and Visp to provide access to the resorts on either side. |
