About The Mountain
Ski Niederau
The north facing slopes, Lanerköpfl and Markbachjoch in Niederau were developed into ski slopes in 1947. Niederau slopes are small but a lovely place to start skiing or snowboarding. The Kropfrader and Mittermooser lifts are easier slopes on the wide ridge at the top but the runs through the woods into the village, Hochberg, Stöck and Sixtwiesen range from dark red to deep black and only for experienced skiers. The Märchenwiesen Valley run is the only one where snow cannons can be used and it is classed as a red run.
A free bus can take you to Auffach where most of the runs are red. The low altitude can play havoc with the snow but it's not a bad place to begin as a number of British have found.
It also links into the Wildschonau ski Area of 70km of sking on the 47 piste served by 26 lifts.
Cross Country - there are over 50km of trails across the valley to explore

Reviews
Stayed in the Hotel Sonnchein – very comfortable and friendly and accommodating staff. The skiing was fantastic for intermediates…perfect for us – guess if you wanted to really test yourself…you may want to go further afield! We had great snow conditions and a brilliant holiday…made better by the honestly priced ski hire with you guys at Snowbrainer!

Stayed in the Harfenwirt which is very convenient for the nursery slopes. My two sons were booked into lessons with Red Ski School and they were very helpful.
The Margreiter rental shop we booked through Snowbrainer were very helpful, changed my boots a couple of times until i found the best shape. All in all a very easy process and will book online next year - thank you Alex
