Unfortunately, the Rail Europe Snow Train will not be running for the 20010/11 season due to economic reasons, but there are good alternatives...
Eurostar Direct Ski Train
You can take a direct Eurostar service from London St. Pancras, all the way to Bourg St Maurice, Moutiers or La Plagne. If you want to get there feeling fresh, you can take the day train. Or, if you want to get there bleary-eyed, but want to get on the slopes without delay, then the night train is for you. Either way, it offers a low carbon option, is great fun, and a lot less hassle than the airports.
Eurostar Plus Trains to all European Ski Destinations.
Take the Eurostar to Paris or Lille and connect to trains serving the other major ski resorts of Europe. You can get to the Frensh or Swiss Alps using TGV from Paris to Annecy, Briançon, Bourg St Maurice, Chamonix, Val d'Isère, Morzine, Grenoble, Serre Chevalier, St Moritz and Klösters. Likewise, you can get to the Pyrenees for the ski resorts near Lourdes, Barèges, Les Angles, St Lary, Pas de la Casa and Soldeu. Finally, overnight trains are available to take you to Austria and Italy.
