I couldn't comment on a lot of the options. But we loved this resort! Great runs, great people fantastic weather and the food and service at our hotel was fantastic.

We first tried Niederau in 2018 and despite it's small size returned another 3 times, twice in one season. It's perhaps one of the most traditional ski resorts with the Ski Jewel encompassing the lovely towns of Niederau, Oberau and Auffach. Also the option to head to Alpbach. Competitive lift prices and excellent value for money mountain huts, again serving traditional Austrian fayre. Slope grooming was efficient. Niederau has everything in walking distance and all 3 resorts are served by a free regular ski bus. Family friendly and pretty tree lined runs. It's not particularly high which makes the lower slopes bumpy when the temperatures are milder. However, it makes up for it with its great lifts and gondolas and it's character and hospitality.

2nd visit to Austria. Snow was a bit icy on the lower slopes, good on the higher slopes. Restaurants were decent, got selection. Took lessons with the local ski school. 2 hours. I injured myself on this lesson hitting ice then rocks. Knee was twisted so I spent the last few days enjoying the bars!
