Train to Bourg St Maurice?

[MrsGuyOfGisbourne]

I hate flying (not fear, just hate the hassle, herding etc) and so usually fdrive, but am thinking now the DC are big enough to manager their own luggage it might be fun to train. Does anyone do this, any tips, howearly can you/should you book? We would be going fromm London to Bourg St Maurice.
Not really keen on discoing the night away on the snow train, if it still exists...

The disco snow train is sadly no longer with us ...

I've done the train journey quite a few times - although I have yet to brave it with DD in tow.

There are direct Eurostar services to Bourg or you can get Eurostar to Paris and then TGV to Bourg (generally cheaper but additional hassle).

A great website to check all details is www.snowcarbon.co.uk/ . I think the early season train schedules and prices should be out quite soon. Generally released around 4/5 months before the departure date.

WoW, WibblinDad thank you!!! Much easier site to navigate than RailEurope and TMIS61 sites which I gave up on yesteday ...exactly what I want - gonna do it ( and will never again mutter darkly about dads being on mumsnet...
