The special Eurostar service to Switzerland is new for this year, leaving London St Pancras at 06:57, stopping at Ashford (07:25) and Lille (09:26) where passengers cross the platform to change trains for Aigle (stopping at 15:47), Martigny (16:13), Visp (16:57) and Brig (17:08).

The Eurostar ski train to France leaves London on Friday nights at 19:31, arriving in the Alps by 06:00 on Saturday morning.
