Niederau-Oberau

Ski holidays in Niederau & Oberau

The wild and beautiful Wildschönau is one of the Tyrol’s loveliest valleys and we are proud to feature two of its traditional and charming villages, all ideal for beginner and intermediate skiers and interlinked by free ski bus. In recent seasons, the Wildschönau won awards for ‘Best Family Ski Area’ and ‘Friendliest Staff’, as well as one for excellent piste preparation. Niederau is the first and largest resort in the valley and Oberau, just 3km away, is smaller with a magnificent church and fine old buildings. All guests receive the free Wildschönau Card, which includes guided winter walks and snowshoeing, free entry to local museums as well as discounts for local attractions and activities.
