The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and the SNCF will put additional trains towards the Savoyard mountains of the Tarentaise, while a landslide amputated the main access route to the ski resorts raises fears of strong disturbances for the start of school holidays.
From Friday, “The Region sets up an increase in offer made up of an addition of additional trains and capacity reinforcements”she told AFP.
Thus a train is added in both directions between Chambéry and Bourg-Saint-Maurice on Friday evening, and two trains on Saturday. Tickets will be sold on Wednesday.

In addition, the capacities of three trains are reinforced, or 900 additional places during the weekend on this journey, explains the region.
In addition, strengthening the offer of trains between these two cities on weekdays is being studied, adds the community.
The director of TGV-Menécités Alain Krakovitch, for his part, announced on X the establishment of an additional round trip between Paris and Bourg-Saint-Maurice “During the 4 weeks of school holidays, or offer a thousand additional places each day and in each direction”.
It was a request from local elected officials, supported by the Minister of Transport Philippe Tabarot, “So that those who planned to go on vacation are not left without solution”explains the minister on X.
The landslide of several large rocks on Saturday on the RN90, which allows access to the Tarentaise ski resorts (the 3 valleys, Tignes, Val d’Isère, La Plagne, les Arcs, La Rosière), caused important traffic jams all weekend.
Access to the stations remains possible by road via a deviation by a tunnel usually reserved for the descent.
The results of an expertise and the details on the security work of the weakened cliff are expected during the week, while the start of the school holidays are looming on Friday evening, for the first area concerned.
