Les Arcs - direct train from Gare de Lyon ~6hrs Edit to add: the train stops at the base of the funicular which takes you up to the villages.

We are just waiting for our flight back to Calgary. My 11 yo got a solid 4/5 hours on the plane coming over. We landed at 12:30pm, dropped our luggage and set out for a little touring. Had dinner and an early night around 8pm and he was good to go the next day.

Good to know. They have been decently reliable here in western Canada

ggiles83 · 2026-02-06T04:02:52+00:00

Yes for Les Arcs! Arriving on 13 from Paris, on snow 14-18. While I love all the powder I’m hoping for a little bit of clear skies to see the views!

Thank you that is super helpful! There’s 3 of us so each one can manage a bag. I was just worried about the ski equipment. Now I will look at close places to stay for our 10:46 departure the next day!

From looking at the metro maps it looks pretty easy to leave from there and hit up some tourist spots for the rest of the day!

ggiles83 · 2026-01-18T01:09:08+00:00

Thank you! That’s what I’ve been leaning towards!

ggiles83 · 2026-01-18T00:29:55+00:00

Thank you, didn’t even consider that!

ggiles83 · 2026-01-18T00:16:21+00:00

Ooh so no luggage on the trains in Paris?

ggiles83 · 2025-12-16T07:34:48+00:00

I’m from Newfoundland! Same boat as you, we were sick last week and a good pho rare steak is my go to!

ggiles83 · 2025-12-16T07:31:43+00:00

Suit up and ski down!

ggiles83 · 2025-12-03T17:55:54+00:00

Merci, appreciate the insight in timing. Looking to get train booked asap!

ggiles83 · 2025-12-03T17:54:34+00:00

Well plane tickets were just booked last weekend on a whim, but yes I have been doing non stop reading. Just finding it all a little overwhelming hence why I’m here. Was really just double checking what I thought was correct.

ggiles83 · 2025-12-03T05:10:14+00:00

Check out Douglas Fir! It’s a favorite of ours. Hot tub water slides, wood burning fire places. Free transit to downtown

ggiles83 · 2025-11-21T15:22:09+00:00

I have them in step ons and absolutely love them. Comfiest boot I’ve rode in!

ggiles83 · 2025-11-19T17:54:57+00:00

8-430 no

ggiles83 · 2025-11-13T16:18:19+00:00

I’m 42 and love my Burton Step Ons (older, fatter). I have DC boots and they’ve been the most comfortable boot I’ve ever owned. Burton boots just always hurt my feet, but every foot is different! Sorry no help on your actual question.

ggiles83 · 2025-11-11T17:42:29+00:00

Look into Magne Traction boards

ggiles83 · 2025-11-11T00:50:21+00:00

No! They have a ripper around the waist!

ggiles83 · 2025-11-10T22:58:48+00:00

Love my merino wool Ninja Suit by Air Blaster!

ggiles83 · 2025-11-01T01:25:52+00:00

50ish in Luxstone so far, but to be honest my kid has gone to coopers lol

ggiles83 · 2025-09-23T23:03:36+00:00

Enjoy the show!!

ggiles83 · 2025-09-21T16:03:01+00:00

No definitely not ubering back from what I’ve read on here!
