Inghams has made nearly a third of its ski resorts accessible by rail for the coming winter season amid soaring demand for "snow train" packages.

The operator said a clamour for "low hassle" and "lower impact" options had resulting in sales for ski holidays by rail almost doubling year-on-year (+90%).

Packages featuring Eurostar rail services are now available to Courcheval, Meribel, Les Menuires, Val Thorens, La Plagne and La Rosiere, and are available for a month longer than they were last year.

This year's ski train programme runs from 20 December to 28 March 2026 travelling from London's St Pancras International station to Bourg-Saint-Maurice via a change at Lille, with onward transfers to Inghams resorts.
