Hmm, anyone fancying the eurostar again?

Just done some research and it'd be euro star to Lille or Paris then a change to Cluses or thanon and a half hour transfer to resort

would Eurostar involve drinking games?? If so I could be persuaded.

How long is the ride btw?

if you book at the right time, euro star comes in about the same price as the total cost of flying as you don't have baggage charges etc, you can take a limited amount of booze on with you and there are two bars on the train too (though they can be pricey).

It also doesn't take much longer to get there door to door, depending on where you are going from, plus you normally get an extra two days in resort to boot!

Last year we were delayed in London by 2 hours so drunk more in the terminal, by the time we set off at 10pm, most of us were ready for a snooze...

you'd have to do eurostar to paris and change for thonon-les-bains or cluses with a 40 minute transfer. the journey works out at ~9 hours (same as the overnight eurostar train).

i love taking the train to the alps, but the transfer from geneva airport is ~60 minutes. is that something to think about?

You'l be paying at least 200 for the train all the way to Bourg but its still often cheaper than flying.

One thing i don't get about the train is that loads of people say oh its great you get two days extra on the slope as you arrive at 8am..and then stay up all night all the way there getting so pissed that they arrive wasted and useless to ride.

We did it by train last winter and it was cheaper than flying we paid 115 quid return.

And we had enough sleep on the train we rode most of the extra day

That's crazy who would be stupid enough to do that!! Wink

In all seriousness though, if I did start drinking when the journey began, I'd probably doze off at midnight and sleep for the rest of the trip! haha

Gotta admit it is fun drinking when travelling, so long as you don't lose your passport or anything! Wink

You're thinking of the snow train you get via a ferry from Dover; the sleeper train.

The Eurostar is all seats and is direct from London. Not quite the party train and you do get the two full extra days.

But Bourg is a long way from Morzine compared to Geneva airport. I don't really think it's a good option for this one. We won't be organising transfers from Bourg for one, but you could still do this yourself if you're desperate to go by train.

Hopefully we'll have the final details by this Wednesday.

Forgot youve planned it for Morzine, not its not an option by train really. Train from London to Geneva is a pain in the ar5e and involves several changes, there is no direct snow train route to that part of the Alpes. Also the reason train to Tignes was a good option was because it saved you the 60 odd euro each way 3 hour transfer from Geneva. But Morzine is only an hour and 20 Euros from Geneva so that benefit becomes null and void
