Where

With low prices and gentle slopes, ski Niederau if you are a family or a beginner and want to be based in a small traditional ski resort village close to the SkiWelt inthe Tirol. Linked with the neighbouring villages of Thierbach, Oberau, and Auffach, you'll find over 70km of piste linked by a free ski-bus. The easiest airport access is via Innsbruck that's around an hour away but Salzburg and Munich are not too far away.

On the slopes

You'll enjoy 25 lifts serving 70km of piste in and around the Niederau ski resort. The resort sits at 830m, with lifts taking skiers up to 1903m at it's peak. This small resort shares a pass with Thierbach, Oberau, and Auffach, with access from the mountain via a modern eight-person gondola from Niederau. Auffach is popular with boarders, offering a terrain park with a half-pipe. The skiing and snowboarding really is good and will satisfy almost everyone. British skiers and snowboarders do come here quite a lot as the cruisy terrain offers you a perfect place to learn your trade. Niederau offers advanced skiers and boarders the three black runs in the wider ski area as well as some great varied terrain - making, in our opinion, this to be the place you stay! If you are desperate for more pistes, the lift pass also covers the Kitzbüheler Alpen pass which provides you with over 700km of trails more.
