Traffic jams in the Alps

You really need to know this!
⠀
There are three difficult days ️ in winter, which you absolutely should not choose for arriving or leaving for a ski resort, especially if you can’t stand queues and traffic jams.
⠀
Every year the same thing happens: tourists cannot get their luggage at the airport for hours, and some of it is even lost; long stand at passport control; After that they go to the hotel, but the transfer takes much longer than usual, for example from Geneva to Courchevel instead of 2.5 hours they go 10 hours. In addition, these days all cars are busy in advance and not a single driver is immune from being late due to a large traffic jam.

⠀
 

An extremely nervous and not at all festive atmosphere is created for the New Year's holiday. It's all because of the three Saturdays that tourists love to choose for their winter trip every year.
 

These black days fall on:
⠀
LAST SATURDAY OF THE YEAR - tourists come to celebrate the New Year at the ski resort.
⠀
THE FIRST SATURDAY OF THE YEAR - the second wave of vacationers arrives, who preferred to celebrate the New Year at home. The first part of people goes back home.
⠀
SECOND SATURDAY OF THE YEAR - everyone who has not left yet is leaving.

⠀
These three Saturdays can make your holiday hell! Therefore, if you value your nerves and a long-awaited vacation in a ski resort in Europe, we kindly ask you to choose another day of arrival and departure. Remember, upon arrival, you can always just spend one night in the city where your airport is located, waiting out the main traffic jams in a comfortable room or walking around interesting places. And on the way back, again, you can leave for the city in advance and spend the night in a hotel, which will also save your nerves.
⠀
A walk through the evening city will give you pleasure and memories much more pleasant than a day in lines and on snowy roads.
