Niederau - precious jewel of Tyrol!

The typical Tyrolean alpine village, located on the edge of the Kitzbühel Alps and the foot of the Markbachjoch (1,500 m), sets standards for cosy winter sports. The parish church, with its distinctive, pointed church tower distinguishes the townscape, which has enjoyed the skiing tradition since 1947.
The resort wins guests over with fair prices and a rustic, romantic charm. A family-friendly selection of activities, as well as varied cuisine, ensure an enjoyable holiday! Several lifts run from the centre into the ski area, and you can easily reach the other pistes in Wildschönau with the free ski bus.
SkiDue to the interconnection of the ski areas Wildschönau and Alpachtal, accessible via the gondola, the lift pass "Ski Juwel" offers a total 109 km of piste including ski routes (for more sporty and daring riders up to 145 km of piste are possible). With this lift pass you have access to the ski areas Markbachjoch/Lanerköpfl, Oberau, Thierbach, Schatzberg, as well as Kramsach, Reither Kogel and Wiedersberger Horn.

Since the 17/18 winter season, there has also been an update awaiting skiers on the Schatzberg: the 4-person-gondola is modernised and turned into an 8-person gondola, offering more comfort and shorter waiting times.
Families and pleasure skiers will most enjoy Schatzberg and Reither Kogel. Here, the little ones are in good hands in Bobo's children's club!
