Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi all,
Hoping to be able to come over in March 2021 if all is good to travel. Is Easter Week (school hols 27th March- 4th April) normally crazy busy in Ski amade resorts ? Any quieter slopes around or best to avoid.
Thanks.
Helen

@EEN, Easter is much quieter than any of February, plus if you are bringing children, they qualify for free lift passes after mid-March. Flachau always seems to be the busiest spot, but everywhere is OK outside of February.

@EEN, no doubt Easter, even an early one like next year, is far less busy than February. There is often a good reason, the snow conditions are not likely to be as good. With an early Easter you have a better chance of decent snow but it is still pretty late in the season. If you are happy with skiing until lunchtime and then afternoons relaxing on a (hopefully!) sunny terrace then it could be good but if you want to be pretty sure of serious amounts of skiing then choose an earlier week or go higher. I know the locals will say that they often ski until the end of April in Zauchensee or Flachau but going for trips to your local slopes is a bit different than a weeks ski holiday. The area is ideal if you want to see Salzburg or visit the Salzkammergut lakes etc and fit in a few days skiing too.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Thanks @munich_irish, i appreciate your detailed reply . Some good points there, we do want some sun but also decent conditions so earlier prob better. We are tied into those dates from this years cancellation but i think we will extend the trip from the middle of March rather than into Easter.
