Do you dream of a stress-free ski vacation without a car and without spending hours stuck in traffic? Good news: the Travelski Night Express is reviving a forgotten but fiercely modern experience—the night train to the mountains. In practical terms, you fall asleep in Paris and wake up in the heart of the Alps, ready to put on your skis. A turnkey vacation (night train + transfer + accommodation + ski pass + equipment) that offers you a practical and low-carbon solution to enjoy the mountains in a different way! We'll explain everything.

Why go skiing by night train?

An experience as such

It is often said that the journey is part of the trip. With the Travelski Night Express, this is even more true: you board in Paris at the end of the day, sleep in your compartment, and in the early morning... you're in the heart of the Alps, facing snow-covered landscapes and ready to put on your skis!

No more traffic jams, hours on the road, or the headache of organizing everything. Travel time is no longer a constraint but a relaxing interlude that already feels like a vacation.

An extra day of skiing

Not only do you avoid the stress of driving and the fatigue of traffic jams, but traveling overnight also means an extra day of skiing on arrival and on your return, without having to take an extra day off work!

A low-carbon mode of transport

Beyond the experience and peace of mind, night trains produce up to 90% less CO₂ emissions than cars. It's a choice that allows you to make a concrete gesture for the planet without sacrificing pleasure. In short, it's a smart and comfortable option that fits in with the desire for slower, more responsible, more conscious tourism... and is still just as fun.

An all-in-one offer to simplify your life

A turnkey vacation: night train + shuttle + lift pass + equipment + accommodation

The Travelski Night Express is not just a train ticket: it's a turnkey ski trip designed to make your life easier.

  • As you can see, the trip begins with a night train journey: departing exclusively on Friday evenings from Paris and returning on Sunday mornings (to maximize your time in the mountains).
  • A regular shuttle service then connects the station to your ski resort, ensuring a smooth transfer upon arrival.
  • When you arrive, everything is already organized: you can easily drop off your luggage and pick up your ski pass and equipment (either at the residence or at the resort). All you have to do is enjoy the mountains!
  • On Saturday, you can enjoy the slopes until the last minute: a transfer is scheduled in the late afternoon to the Travelski Night Express (for arrival in Paris on Sunday morning).

In practice, you can stay up to 8 days on site, depending on the package you choose.

Comfort on board the night train

In a sleeper cabin, you will enjoy all the comforts you need for a good night's sleep in a compartment (6 berths per compartment): duvet and pillow provided, electrical outlet.

During the trip, you can also enjoy dinner and breakfast in the bar car (not included in the offer).

A solution suitable for everyone (families, women, solo travelers, etc.)

Good to know: you can also choose compartments reserved exclusively for women!

The journey is ideal for families, even those with young children: compartments can be privatized (six berths per compartment).
