SnowExpress has been launched this week, offering the lowest cost, lowest hassle, greenest way to get to the French Alps this winter. This service has been launched by David Robertson, owner of Actions Outdoors, and by Dave Manley, previously General Manager of Eurolines. David explains: " For the last five years we've been running our own coaches for our own customers from London to the Alps. With the demise of the ski train, plus more and more budget conscious travellers looking to cut the cost of their trip to the snow this is the ideal to offer an unbeatable service to a wider number of savvy travellers".

SnowExpress serves over 40 resorts in France including Chamonix! The services starts on Friday 11thDec for early season skiers & saisonaires and continues right through till after Easter, with a special Saturday departure on Boxing day, the 26th Dec.
