Last winter, more UK skiers used the train to travel to ski resorts than the previous season* and 13% of skiers intend to travel by train** according to Mountain Travel Network (MTN) research. For winter 2026/7, there are even more options for skiers looking to travel by train, and Les Arcs, in the Haute Tarentaise, is one of the easiest ski resorts to reach by rail from the UK. For many years Les Arcs has actively encouraged its visitors to travel by train for their ski holiday. This is in line with the resort’s environmental commitments and its goal to create a more sustainable mountain environment.
You can take a train from the UK to major French cities, then connect to local trains heading to Les Arcs.
Train travel reduces carbon emissions and is often more convenient and comfortable than flying.
Les Arcs offers diverse slopes, stunning scenery, and easy access via train, making it a great choice for skiers.
