Niederau holidays

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.

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.

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

Niederau is quite a quiet town, but there are a few lovely places to enjoy a few drinks – the Hexenhäusl 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.

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.

Located in the Kristall Plaza apartment complex is Glennie's Bar. It serves up international cuisine, with Dutch dishes like grandma's meatballs and Dutch fish and croquettes alongside Austrian favourites and the McGlennie burger.

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.

Just off the main road is the Hexenhäusl, 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.

All guests get a Wildschönau card which allows free travel on local transport, including buses to Oberau, Muhtal and up and down the valley. To travel further afield, the bus to Wörgl takes around 25 minutes and costs approx €5. The main bus stop is at the Berglift, next to the Hotel Austria.

Summer lifts make getting up into the mountains easy – there’s the Markbachjoch cable car as well as the Wiederbergerhorn and Reitherkogel cable cars in Alpbach Valley. Some lift tickets you can buy with our rep teams in resort – chat to them and they'll be happy to help you out.

The nearest station is in Wörgl (25 minutes away by bus), where you can catch a train to Innsbruck (30 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.

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.
