Plenty of places with that option in Switzerland. Not generally a particularly affordable place to stay, although there are sometimes bargains out there. If you stayed in Aigle, for example, you'd have plenty of resorts accessible by train, such as Les Diablerets and Leysin. A day trip to Verbier would be eminently doable from Aigle, although the lift pass prices in Verbier are cripplingly expensive.
Trains to and from Switzerland are straightforward enough, although I've only done the full journey by train once. Route goes London>Lille>Lausanne>Final destination, if I remember correctly.

Hi, looking to book a ski trip accessible via train in Feb with my mum and options are limited.. It seems to be accom that is most expensive, so I was thinking of finding somewhere we can stay in a non-resort town and get a bus/train to the lifts (she might not want to ski every day either). Somewhere like Bourg-saint-maurice and the funicular up to Les Arc.. Any other recommendations for somewhere we can stay affordably, but then travel to the resort on days we want to ski? Thanks
