🌿 Why take the train?

The train is the most environmentally friendly option and avoids the motorway completely. It's also stress-free — no parking, no traffic. However, it's less practical if you're travelling with a lot of ski equipment. Consider using local hire equipment (save on luggage) and travelling train-only.
