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 (our rep in resort will help you buy any lift tickets you need). You can also join local guides who’ll lead the way to their favourite spots, and show you the best views.

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.

Walking

Gentle strolls

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 give easy access to the higher trails (plus you can buy tickets to the Schatzberg and Markbachjoch lifts with our reps in resort). 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.
