In Italy they are the same, not sure about Austria.

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

I've been the last week in January for as long as I can remember and the resorts I've been to in Austria and Italy are neither rammed nor deadly quiet I don't expect there's much difference-some Italian resorts in particular start to get large groups of school trips not that you'd notice the extra bodies on the slopes though.

I've been 3 or 4 times around the 22nd/23rd Jan to Italy and it's always been pretty quiet. Not deserted, but you almost never have to queue. Can't speak for the following week.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

dublin1, 22nd is quieter, although not a huge difference. Both are up there in the top 5 quietest weeks and all the poor boogers with kids/committmants/bosses etc etc can't go 
Certain Austrian resorts can get busy at anytime if the snow & weather is good as all the Bavarian pipe smokers steam down from Munich in their beemers.

We're based in France rather than Italy or Austria but we tend to find that the 22nd week is quieter than the 29th week if that is any help?
Happy planning!

red 27, only at the weekends, Sunday being the worst for day trippers.
dublin1, Apart from the Schladming and Kitzbühel areas (World Cup races that week), the 22nd is usually fairly quiet in Austria. The 29th too but it is starting to build up to the February Half Term time in some European countries so it can be slightly busier.

We ran a chalet in Austria a few years ago and didn't even get any guests on the week of 22nd. I do remember the following week being pretty quiet too.
