Ski Season Transfers: When to Book for the Alps & Georgia
The Alpine and Georgian ski seasons bring a rush of arrivals — and transfer demand peaks with them. Knowing when to book keeps your journey to the slopes smooth.
When is ski season?
In the French Alps, the season typically runs from December to April, with peak weeks over the holidays and February half-term. In Georgia, Gudauri and Bakuriani are generally open from December to March or April, depending on snow.
Why Saturdays are the busiest
Most resort bookings run Saturday to Saturday, so airport arrivals and roads peak on Saturdays. Transfers fill early and journeys can take longer — book ahead and allow extra time.
