Travel Smarter: Take the Train

Everything you need to know about why and how to travel by train to the Alps.

We’d love for schools to choose the train when travelling to Morzine. It’s a simple switch that makes a huge difference – cutting the carbon footprint compared to flying and helping protect the mountains we all come here to enjoy. And the journey itself?

That’s part of the adventure.

Sustainability

Educational Values

Travelling by train brings learning to life - from practising languages to exploring geography and history along the route. It’s a journey that builds independence, cultural awareness, and helps students grow as global citizens.

Cultural Immersion

Experience French culture from the moment you arrive in Paris. Travel through diverse landscapes - cities, countryside, and the Alps in a single day. Students get a sense of immersion: ordering snacks in French, navigating stations, seeing more of the country.

Sit back & relax...

From London to Morzine in under a day. High-speed trains make the journey smooth and stress-free. No long airport waits, no baggage limits, just simple connections that bring you straight to the Alps.
