Check In:
We recommend you arrive to check in an hour before your train is due to depart especially for people travelling to the Alps. We also allow an extra item of luggage per passenger, such as a pair of skis or a snowboard. That's on top of the usual maximum of 2 medium-sized cases (85cm at their longest length), plus one item of hand luggage. Once on board, we've reserved an area in each carriage specifically for your large luggage, so you won't have to struggle to make everything fit.
