Eurostar Ski Train - booking opens 31st July
The Eurostar Ski Train to the French Alps will go on sale at 6:30am on Thursday 31st July 2014. But how much is it actually likely to cost you?
What's the overnight ski train really like?
Two extra days on the slopes and a direct journey that delivers you minutes from the ski slopes...the overnight Eurostar Ski Train sounds ideal in principle.
