Niederau - Ski Juwel Alpbachtal Wildschönau - Community Reviews & Ratings

Great place for families or mixed ability groups. Everything is nearby. Very friendly place not great for experienced skiers/boarders but enough to keep you occupied for a week. Good value for money too.

Great range of slopes from beginner runs in Niederau village close by the hotels, to challenging blacks and long reds across the whole area. Great transport infrastructure with buses and linked cable car runs allows easy access.Skow making on majority of slopes so pretty reliable snow.Nightlife is fairly quiet...though the cave bar in Niederau can be exciting

Very good resort for first timers , great ski school with great instructors . Great skiing all round .

Visited this resort a few years ago with 3 young children and we had a lovely time. The childcare/ lessons were great and the evening options for child-friendly meals very good. Great snow conditions and lovely weather.

Lots of choice, between the larger ski areas of Auffach and Inneralpbach, and the quieter slopes at Niederau Plenty of little off-pieste areas to have fun in, that are close to lift areas.A good regular ski bus service.The Happy Ski School is also a great team of instructors. Food in the hotel Harfenwirt, and their pool/spa area were excellent. It was perfect to end most days skiing by coming back from the Markbachjoch lift and either Red 19 or 24 directly across the road from the Harfenwirt Hotel.A walk with your skiis of only 20 metres.

Niederau is a small resort but access to massive ski jewel area. Resort is quiet but has a great family feel to it

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!

Visited in March 2023 and Feb 2024. Snow was not great unless higher up. Town was quiet, not a great deal of night life. Skiing on ice on the lower slopes. Overall a good experience, no complaints other than global warming shifting the seasons around!!
