Big thanks for already getting this up. It is super helpful. Can it be pinned to the top?
Looking how our kids holidays fall versus the masses... we can do 14th dec week. Should be quiet but will need altitude. And i don't love the short daylight hours.
HT - we have the 15th Feb week. Damn. Basically not France. Late Carnival makes Italy tempting.
The winner though is they break up for Easter in time for 29th march week. That could be the winner.

And many smaller resorts in France won't be open that week. Don't know about other countries.

snowHeads are a friendly bunch.

For the south of NL the government advised holiday week is #9 but it is more likely that many of the schools in the south will go against that advice and have their holiday in week #10 as that is the carnaval week which is celebrated in the south.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Lots of comments in the dolomites thread (https://snowheads.com/ski-forum/viewtopic.php?p=5241948#5241948) about mid Jan being very busy this year with Eastern (non EU so maybe not on chart ?) European visitors (including Russians whom I thought were not allowed ?).
Someone mentioned that some of those countries might have a school holiday in Jan ?
Certainly when I was in Kronplatz 14-21 Jan it was busier than I had expected and lots of accents, languages I couldn’t place with school age kids in tow …certainly some Russian.
Bigger sella ronda area (we parked at La Villa twice and armentarola once) seemed a little quieter …
I wonder does anyone have any further info on this ?

There’s mention of the Dolomites being busier than normal this month due to late changes from Germans, with poor conditions in their favoured resorts further north.

You know it makes sense.

The Sella Ronda including our hotel is packed this current week with Italian families with school age kids.
Yet all the school holiday graphics and websites show no Italian school holidays for any region.
Is this a carnival week with schools shut in Italy?

How would January 4-11, 2025 be? It looks like all schools return on the 4th. Also, it’s the period right after Christmas/New Years so will things have calmed down?

@Larzke, wlcome to snowheads. That's often the cheapest week of the season and as ushc can be very quiet - though we've notied that more than a few parents will take offspring on ski trips that week and perhaps pay a small fine, rather than pay the much higher premium for New Year

Hi, based on the table at the top, should I be avoiding Italy for the week 1st to 8th March. If it is Carnaval week will the Italians be on holidays and therefore a greater number in ski resorts? I am looking at Canazei.

@Parf, probably best, it’s a popular place for Italians, I noticed lots of Italian plates in car parks 4 weeks ago.
