Bourg via Brussels

If you missed out on tickets for the Eurostar Snow via Lille service, and still considering your rail travel options, there’s an interesting option to consider.

It’s to travel from London, via Brussels.

Most UK-based skiers will be unaware that Eurostar runs a direct service between Brussels and Bourg St Maurice. The service calls at Moutiers, Aime-la-Plagne, Landry as well, giving you access to all the same popular resorts that the Eurostar Snow service does.

The service departs from Brussels on Saturday mornings. That means you’ll get into resort earlier but will need to travel from London St Pancras to Brussels the night before and stopover in a hotel. And the same on the return journey, too.

The Brussels – Bourg-Saint-Maurice tickets are already on sale and have availability for all dates of the season, including February half term.  The London St Pancras – Brussels section the of the journey is only on sale to 8th February so far, but in due course those tickets will go on sale too.

Below is the the journey schedule.  You could choose any Eurostar to Brussels. From Brussels there are two departures to Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
