Dates: Friday 4 December to Tuesday 8 December. The three resorts with the lowest estimated crowds on those days are Cauterets, Font-Romeu and Les Angles.
Our own estimate: it spreads the real or estimated season total using each country’s school and public holiday calendars and crowd data from past seasons. It is for comparing days with each other, not for knowing exactly how many people there will be.
