Skiing in Niederau-Oberau

Skiing in Niederau centers around the Markbachjoch and Lanerköpfl peaks, which surprisingly offer some steep, challenging red and black runs alongside excellent, dedicated beginner slopes in the valley. Oberau, just a short distance away, is much smaller and features gentle drag lifts ideal for absolute beginners and families seeking a quiet, unintimidating environment.

The resort is highly praised for its value for money, welcoming locals, and excellent ski schools. With the Ski Juwel pass, visitors have access to 113km of pistes, ensuring that once beginners find their feet, there is plenty of intermediate terrain to explore via a short, free ski bus ride to neighboring Auffach.

Niederau's local Markbachjoch mountain provides a mix of steep, tree-lined red runs and fantastic dedicated beginner areas at the base. Intermediate cruisers can take the short ski bus to Auffach to access the wider Ski Juwel domain, which offers an abundance of wide, sweeping red and blue pistes on the Schatzberg.

One of Tyrol's largest connected ski areas, combining the rustic charm of the Wildschönau valley with the scenic beauty of the Alpbachtal.
