Niederau Holidays

Holidays to Niederau offer a peaceful break in a mountain village, with a Baroque church and surrounded by meadows and peaks.

Walker's heaven

Niederau is the first village of the Wildschönau Valley, a walker’s heaven with miles of trails that are easy to reach on the summer lifts. Take a stroll to neighbouring Oberau through a tranquil nature reserve or hop on the Markbachjoch gondola up the mountain for more scenic walks. The gondolas are all free if you’re staying in Niederau, and you can also join local guides who’ll lead the way to their favourite spots.

Hop on the Bummelbahn

If walking isn’t your scene, try out the Bummelbahn, a tractor-pulled leisure train that’ll take you to the valley's beautiful nooks and crannies, like the picturesque Kundl Gorge. Or make the 20-minute stroll to the z’Bach Mountain Farming Museum, to learn the story of the Tyrolean people through their ancient methods of farming.

Good to know

There won’t be a rep based in your resort, but a rep will meet you at the airport when you arrive and get you on your way. If you’ve got any questions during your holiday, you can call our 24/7 TUI Service Centre at any time.

Destinations in Niederau

Bargain Buys

Niederau has a couple of shops where you can pick up a few souvenirs. But for serious bargain hunters, the nearby town of Wörgl has a big shopping centre to explore.
Mid-Range Buys

Niederau has very little in the way of shops to browse. There are a couple of sport shops stocking a small selection athletic apparel and products. For more variety, hop on a bus to Wörgl, which has a big shopping centre.

Laid-back evenings

Niederau is nestled in the countryside, so there’s beautiful scenery to take in while wandering the scenic town during an after-dinner walk.
Lively evenings

Niederau is quite a quiet town, but there are a few lovely places to enjoy a few drinks – the Witch Alm is particularly good for cocktails. Occasionally, there’s a festival on or some live music to enjoy, so keep an eye on what’s on that week.

Eating out

In Niederau, local specialities are a must-have. This is because all of the recipes – passed down through generations – use fresh and exciting ingredients and are made with passion. Even the liqueurs and brandies are distilled with high-quality berries from the local farms. You’ll be able to try traditional dishes at the small family-run restaurants that dominate the town, and inside the hotel restaurants.
Speciality nights at Austria Stuberl

Located in the Hotel Austria is the Austria Stuberl. On certain days of the week the restaurant specialises in different variations of a dish – Sundays and Mondays are for schnitzel and Thursdays is for knödeltag, or dumplings.
Hearty fare at Restaurant Tennladen

At the bottom of the mountain is the simple and traditional Restaurant Tennladen. With outdoor seating, huge portions and reasonable prices, it’s a great place to pop into for a tasty and hearty lunch.
Magic meals at Witch Alm Bar & Grill

Just off the main road is the Witch Alm Bar & Grill, a modern bar and restaurant serving a combination of American and Austrian dishes. The service is prompt, the bill will be surprisingly small and on certain nights they hold live music events.

On foot

Niederau is a real walker’s haven. The typically Tyrolean village is ideal for exploring on foot, so you can take you time admiring the beautiful buildings. Further out, there are plenty of trails through meadows and up mountains.
Trains

The nearest station is in Wörgl (25 minutes away by bus), where you can catch a train to Innsbruck (30 minutes) or Auffach (15 minutes). A unique feature in Niederau is the Bummelbahn leisure train, which runs regularly through the valley and is perfect for admiring the local scenery.
Buses

The bus to Wörgl takes around 25 minutes and costs approx €5, while the buses to Oberau and Muhtal cost approx €4. The main bus stop is at the Berglift, next to the Hotel Austria. Both daily and weekly tickets are available, so you can get the best value.
Summer lifts

Use of the summer lifts in the area is free with your Wildschönau Card – there’s the Markbachjoch cable car as well as the Wiederbergerhorn and Reitherkogel cable cars in Alpbach Valley.

Walking

Niederau and the Wildschönau Valley are home to over 300km of marked walking trails – ranging from a nice, flat stroll along the valley to Oberau, to energetic hikes to the top of the Grosser Beil, the valley’s highest peak at 2,309m. The mountain gondolas, which are all free to use with your Wildschönau Card, give easy access to the higher trails. And the tourist office organises a weekly guided walking programme too. Remember to bring your camera to snap photos of your gorgeous surroundings, from flower-filled meadows to cute mountain cows.
