Luggage (oversized or otherwise) on Eurostar Snow to the French Alps
Additional luggage space has been created on Eurostar Snow for skis, snowboards and other oversized luggage in coaches 6/16, 7/17 and 8/18.
Eurostar Snow has employed special staff (Ski hosts) to assist passengers in loading and unloading luggage. The Ski hosts travel the entire route and help at each station.
These Eurostar Snow trains also have a special luggage coach at the front of the train.
This luggage coach is only accessible to luggage of passengers travelling from the Thalys departure to destination stations.
The luggage coach is loaded in Amsterdam and Brussels on the outward journey and in Bourg-Saint-Maurice on the return journey. The coach is not accessible at other stations.
Passengers wishing to stow their luggage in this coach must be present half an hour prior to departure.
Not allowed
EU customs rules also apply to Eurostar Snow. Prohibited items include the following:
Sports weapons, such as crossbows or javelins.
Oxygen canisters, unless accompanied by a medical passport indicating they are necessary.
Ammunition and fireworks.
Luggage checks
Random luggage checks take place at the Liège-Guillemins, Antwerpen Centraal and Brussel-Zuid/Midi stations.
