That's a great website. We have often been to France skiing by train. It's great. It means an extra day off work on the Friday but you arrive in resort on Saturday morning and don't leave till about 5pm the following Saturday. So a possible 8 days skiing instead of the usual 6. It costs slightly more, but it's worth it. This year we're going to Wengen by train, but during the day. We're really looking forward to the scenery on the way.We're going First Class so it'll be a lot more civilised than the Snow Train to France, which is really a bit basic, to say the least.
Best wishes,

We've done the Eurostar too, but the overnight one. We went first class. The problem is there are only reclining seats and they didn't even turn the lights off, so we didn't get any sleep. If only they'd put sleeper cars on Eurostar...
