Resort Information

Niederau is a typical Tirolean village, surrounding the church and made up of pretty alpine chalet style buildings. Though quite small, it has a lot to offer, including a guided walking programme and children's club. Take a stroll to neighbouring Oberau through a peaceful nature reserve or take the gondola up the mountain for more challenging hikes.

Walking

Niederau is a hiking paradise for both young and old. It is one of 4 villages within the Wildschönau valley. There are more than 300km of marked and cleared trails to various mountain peaks, huts and forests. Pass along green meadows, shady woods, lush Alpine pastures and mountain ridges for a complete walking experience. The tourist office offers a weekly programme of guided walks which can vary but themes may include a herbal trail, Nordic Walking taster, water divining, an alm (mountain farm) walk and a sunrise walk. The programme will be available on arrival and you must register for each walk the day before.
