All aboard the train! Do breakfast in London and the Swiss Alps for après ski. This winter, there is a new and easy way to get to the most beautiful bit of the Alps. It's on the NEW Swiss Alps Ski Train.

Take the train, it's so civilized. Every Saturday from December 22 through April 6, 2013, skiers will hop aboard the Eurostar in London as the clock strikes 7am, change in Lille for the TGV, and zoom straight down to Switzerland - in less than eight hours.

For all travellers, there will be a bar in the middle of the train. At the entrance of each car, dedicated space will be reserved for baggage and ski equipment.
