It’s decided, this year, you’re going skiing at Les Arcs! Now the question is how? But between “How many suitcases can we fit in the car?”, “Did you pack the snow chains?”, and “Do we need to reserve parking?”, organizing the trip quickly turns into mission impossible.
What if this time, you chose the train? Follow the guide, we’ll take you on board!
More Rest
You’re coming for a birthday, a bachelor/bachelorette party, or other festivities—basically, the schedule is packed! Skiing, après-ski, dining, repeat! So, why not enjoy every moment without assigning someone to drive back? You can all rest peacefully on the train, both on the way there and back!
Less Hassle
More used to the city beltway than snowy mountain roads… You sigh at the thought of watching yet another tutorial on “how to put on snow chains” or “how to stay calm when your friend takes over your playlist in YOUR car.” Skip all that and relax comfortably in your train carriage!
Fewer Conflicts
No one agrees on the same departure time or day? With the train, there’s no need to delay plans for the friend who wants to leave the next morning. They can simply join you on the next train!
More Comfort
“So, we could use my parents’ car, but it’ll be a tight fit…” Don’t have a car or one big enough? Choose the train. Because yes, your childhood friend will always bring too much luggage, and no, 7 hours in a car with three people squished in the back seat is not ideal...
OUIGO, the low-cost offering from SNCF Voyageurs, makes train travel accessible to everyone, with over 60 destinations across France. High-Speed Trains or classic lines, OUIGO offers flexible options tailored to all needs.
As every year, during the winter season, from December 19, 2024, to March 30, 2025, OUIGO offers its seasonal line connecting Paris to Bourg-Saint-Maurice via TGV starting at €19 per adult and €8 per child. This direct route takes you into the heart of the mountains in approximately 5 hours and 45 minutes, with convenient stops at Grenoble, Albertville, Moûtiers, and Aime-la-Plagne.
An economical, simple, and comfortable journey… That’s the OUIGO experience!
Let’s admit it, we all have that eco-conscious friend who whips out their carbon calculator as soon as vacations are mentioned. Good news: by coming to Les Arcs by train, you drastically reduce the carbon footprint of your holiday. Transportation accounts for over 50% of the emissions of a ski trip, so why not choose the most responsible option?
And it’s simple: arrive directly at Bourg-Saint-Maurice from Paris, Lyon, or other major European cities, then take the funicular, which will drop you off at Arc 1600 in just 7 minutes. After that, free shuttles will take you to the other locations: Arc 1800, 1950, or 2000.
Bonus: the funicular is free for those presenting their train ticket. Nice, right?
We look forward to seeing you on the station platform!
