kendub, it's the last week of the French holidays, only one region is on holiday though, which usually makes it the quietest week. I think it may also be Fasching in Austria that week too.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

kendub, will be school holiday time in France. Don't know how Austria or Italy will be, but most French places (maybe all) will be pretty busy. Not impossible, but not a time I'd choose.

As Hells Bells says, it'll be Fasching in Austria so busy but lots of fun!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

given that you don't want busy, sounds like maybe Italy? It may not be the busiest week of the French holidays but there will still be lift queues in most places. Could you go the next week? Will be a lot quieter.

Must admit the way things are at the moment I would be waiting and seeing where has the best snow/ pistes and ignoring the holiday aspects. My own experience of Austrian resorts during Fasching is that they are fun rather than horrendous though it can be difficult getting accommodation. But any resort where you are limited to a limited number of icy pistes is going to be a lot less good than one where you can ski all over.
