Eurostar’s Snow Train
The eurostar’s ski train service is from London St. Pancras to Moutiers Station which is only a 20 Mins transfer to resort. A great hassle free and eco friendly option.
By Car
Why not self-drive taking only nine hours from Calais to Courchevel including a couple of rest stops along the way. There is plenty of free parking in Le Praz.

If you have a little more time try travelling on the back roads through some lovely towns and villages, it takes an extra three hours but if you can stay overnight there are some great places to visit.
There is Champagne country, Epernay, Reims, visit a Champagne House and take a few bottles home with you.
One of our favourite stopovers is Annecy where you can wake up to the lake and snow covered mountains, a short walk through the old town, morning coffee in Talloires then next stop Courchevel only 1 ½ hours easy drive, in time for lunch and an afternoons’ ski.
Having your car in resort allows you to easily visit other nearby ski areas. Paradiski (La Plagne and Les Arcs) and Espace Killy (Val d’Isere and Tignes) are both around an hour away.
