LocationNIEDERAU forms part of one of the Austrian Tyrol’s most beautiful valleys known as the Wildschonau. We recommend the village as ideal for families and all level of skier or boarder who can enjoy the slopes locally or further afield.
At nearly 900 meters above sea level Niederau enjoys an enviable snow record throughout the season, both on the slopes and in the village. The resort is characterised by its picturesque scenery and friendly atmosphere.
APRES SKI
Pretty relaxed and informal. Niederau centre has a few bars and restaurants. O'Malley's Irish bar offers live music most nights of the week and is probably the most popular venue in the resort. The Cave Bar is open till late - part sports bar, part nightclub, part pool hall and a great atmosphere.
There's a great tobogan run which starts at the middle station in Auffach - free of charge. Just hire a sledge at the bottom and don't forget you lift pass. There's also a flood lit option closer to home. You can also enjoy a daytime or evening sleigh ride.
For a traditional Tyrolean atmosphere pert from the home run to Niederau to Tenladen and discover the Bichlwirt – the Wildschonau’s oldest Gasthof. Alternatively the recently completed Gipfo Hit at the top of Auffach offers a nice alternative to the traditional mountain restaurants on offer.
ActivitiesBEGINNERS – Wildschonau combined lift pass recommended
Renowned as one of The Worlds best resorts for beginners. The extensive nursery slopes are in and close to the village centre while the blue runs on the upper slopes are wide and gentle.
INTERMEDIATES – Wildschonau combined lift pass recommended
Good intermediate skiing on a number of blue and red slopes at the top of the gondola and a long red back down to the village. Auffach close by, and utilising the same lift pass offers an extensive range of challenging slopes. Best of all is the long blue and red decent from the top of the Schatzberg gondola to the village. New for this season to compliment the four man chair lift to the top of Larnekopfl the black run right back down to resort level.
EXPERIENCED SKIERS - 'All Star Card' recommended
