CAN I TRAVEL TO THE RESORT BY TRAIN?

Eurostar run a snow train from London and Ashford directly to Moutiers (the town at the bottom of the mountain), taking this option often means an extra days skiing!  There are plenty of buses that run from Moutiers to St Martin de Belleville on a regular basis. This option requires organising a daily transfer (or walk to the lifts).  Please ask if you'd like a local taxi number.

There are coach options from the airports as well, but you will need to change at Moutiers: Bensbus or Altibus offer a good range.
