I will visit Alps, from 18 unti 27 Dec.
I am between Zillertal or Dachstein Tauern.

To be more specific ...
Hauser Kaibling - Planai ,
or
Hochzillertal - Hochfuegen (or perhaps Tux)

Whats your opinion, especially for those days...where i will found less people, and which has better snow conditions in Dec? of course you never know with weather but...

Thanx...

Befor christmas less people go out for skiing. So i think it would not have to wait whether in Zillertal or at Dachstein-Tauern, but the areas in zillertal are a bit higher then Hauser Kaibling and you´ll have a great offer with the glacier.
That´s why i would prefer the zillertal, but both would be great and you would not have problems with the snow, because of the production of artificial snow.

I hope that will help you!

Hoch-Zillertal is much bigger than the glacier, but maybe the snow is better on the glacier. It depends on the weather conditions in December. But if buy a ticket for four days or more, you can use any lift in the Zillertal, also the glacier.

Where are you from? Are you travelling by car? If yes, you can visit all the ski areas in the Zillertal.

Good option...;) Due to a lot of artificial snow in those areas, you will have a lot of open lifts. But you should consider the weeks before Christmas.

I also consider Saalbach, because there are many blue slopes for my wife.
Do you think it might be overcrowded?

Overcrowded, that depends on what do you think is overcrowded. But the areas you think of might be "overcrowded" not before the 25/26 of december, because many people not want to travel before. Smaller areas around (e.g. Lofer) should not be overcrowded later on, but i read you prefer to stay in one area.

well...in Greece if you go skiing during Christmas, you will wait over 25 m. to take a lift...

so Overcrowded for me = waiting over 20-25 m. for almost all the lifts in a resort.

However, i think to take salzubrg super ski card, so i have many options for days of Christmas to visit smaller resorts around there...

I never had to wait longer than 10 (to 15) minutes even during christmas days at the Hochkönig areas, maybe that would be a possibility for you aswell. Maybe we will see each other there!
