Eurolines adds Austria to its ski coach servicesJust £109 return to Mayrhofen and French Alps - travel to the slopes which doesn't cost the Earth 12 November 2007 Eurolines, the international coach operator today announced it has added Austria to its ski coach services this season. Mayrhofen has over 150 kilometres of piste and a well earned reputation as one of the world's top ski and snowboard destinations and is excellent for après-ski entertainment. The overnight service has a very civilised early Friday evening departure time from central London, crossing the Channel by P&O ferry and arriving at the resort after lunch the next day. It means passengers can avoid the inconvenience of early morning check-ins, expensive airport car parking, surcharges and taxes common with air travel to your ski holiday and have time to sleep and relax on the coach. Passengers on the new service will travel straight to Nuremburg and, with an easy change, head on to the Ziller valley. All Eurolines Ski services this season are at a highly attractive £109 return fare.The new Mayrhofen service is an exciting addition to its popular winter holiday services and the first time it has offered ski coach travel to destinations outside the French Alps. Eurolines French ski services will be offering direct travel from London Victoria to 11 locations in the French Alps. In addition to an easy travel experience, passengers can relax knowing their carbon footprint will be at least 5 times lower than the same journey by plane. Eurolines Managing Director John Gilbert said: "We know from the success of the service in previous years that people like our low prices and choose to travel with us because it helps to keep the overall cost of skiing down. There are NO hidden extras and we don't charge for carrying skis and snowboards. With the carbon cost of travel an increasingly significant factor too, we're pleased to be able to help our passengers reduce the carbon costs of their holiday." "The service is really appealing to independent travellers and the increasingly large number of budget skiers. It has also proved popular with our holiday partners who can bring down the costs of their packages." - Ends - For more information: Contact Rod Macrae at Eurolines Media Office on 01491613715 or Mobile: 07814029819 or click here to send an enquiry.
