Niederau, nestled in the picturesque Wildschönau Valley, is part of the Ski Juwel area and is celebrated for its traditional charm and breathtaking alpine scenery. This quaint Tyrolean village offers a relaxed skiing environment perfect for families and beginners.
Beginners: Niederau is ideal for those new to skiing, featuring a highly-rated ski school and excellent nursery slopes that are conveniently located in the center of the village.
Intermediates: Intermediate skiers will appreciate the well-groomed runs accessible via the Markbachjoch gondola and the Lanerköpfl chairlift. With the integration of the Wildschönau and Alpbach ski areas, intermediates have a wealth of blue and red runs to explore.

Snowboarding: The resort caters well to snowboarders of all skill levels. Beginners and intermediates will find the slopes accommodating, while more experienced riders can enjoy features in the three fun parks within the area. The 'Race n Boarder' Arena in Niederau, with its permanent race track, is particularly popular among snowboarding enthusiasts.

4.9/5I usually book flights, transfers, hotel, ski rental and lift passes myself but this year used WeSki for a trip to Morzine. It was so much easier. Everything worked perfectly - transfers arrived on time and there was plenty of feedback throughout the whole process giving you confidence the holiday would go smoothly.
A really useful service that is so much easier to use than other ‘all-inclusive’ sites. It nicely bridges the gap between a travel agent and booking the trip yourself online. I will use WeSki every time I go skiing from now on.
We booked a late minute skiing trip to Morzine through we ski. We looked at booking the trip ourselves but could get anywhere near the price quoted by we ski. The company was excellent and we had no problems at all from start to finish. I would definitely use them to book another weekend skiing trip.
Seamless experience from start to finish. I was spending ages trying to sort out a weekend break and managed to do it with we ski in minutes and for the same price as booking it all up yourself. Flight, transfer and accommodation was all as expected and faultless.
