Benita says: "Travelling by train seemed to be the most logical and pleasurable way for all 10 friends to get to the mountain. Plus some of us didn’t know each other before the holiday very well or at all, so after a couple of entertaining train rides, we felt more like a cohesive group ready for good times ahead

"I particularly liked the relaxed approach to the whole journey, and how easy it was! We met at St Pancras and enjoyed a nice glass of champagne before boarding the Eurostar, and from there it was all very seamless. We didn’t have to wait for anyone to check in luggage or pick it up either, and we could easily manoeuvre our luggage from one train to the next, as it was all at ground level

"I really liked the ski slopes as they were challenging enough for me to learn new skills and the ski area was HUGE! So we were spoilt for choice with what to do for the day.

"On the way back we ate at a French restaurant around the corner from the Cluses station – a charming French restaurant certainly made us feel right at home – the service was delightful as was the meal - before taking the sleeper train home"
