Following the successful launch of the “ski train” service under the Travelski Express brand, chartering trains from London and Paris to the French Alps, Travelski has recently issued another European tender.

The goal is to establish regular low-carbon transport services by trains from various European cities, including Paris, London, Amsterdam, and Brussels, to the French Alps for three years from 2024 to 2027.

Potential routes from Spain are also under consideration.

Organizers invite tenders from all European railway operators capable of providing passenger trains for one or two rotations per week from mid-December to mid-April.

Compagnie des Alpes promises the selected operator a guaranteed volume for an extended period.

The tender process includes various types of railway transport, such as high-speed, intercity, and night trains, depending on availability and proposals from operators.

This decision builds on the two-year experience of operating Travelski Express and preliminary discussions with several railway service providers.
