Frecciarossa 1000 trains on the domestic routes within Italy convey 4 classes of accommodation, but the Standard Premier service is not available on this international route.
Also 'Allegro' has been introduced as the branding for the Standard and Business Class, SMTJ isn't certain as to the reason for this, other than to make a distinction with the tickets on the domestic routes.

Good to Know
These Frecciarossa 1000 trains are now the only direct trains from Torino/Turin to Lyon, the TGV trains on the Torino to Paris route now pass through the city without calling there.
This train travels through The Alps on either side of the France/Italy border - as it follows the Mont-Cenis route.
The best of the views are from the right of the train, when facing the direction of travel, so hope that your assigned seat(s) is on that side of the train.
