Niederau is a haven for newbies, with a highly-rated ski school and nursery slopes right in the village center. The magic carpets and gentle drag lifts make it easy for beginners to get started. However, when you're up on the mountain, only venture on the blues; the way down to the village is either red or black, so it's gondola-only for beginners initially.

Intermediates will find a decent variety but will need to venture out to Auffach for more action. Tree-lined runs near the village are good for warm-ups. Auffach offers a wealth of intermediate slopes, and the sweeping runs from the Böglalm gondola back to the valley are a delight.

While primarily catering to beginners and intermediates, Niederau offers some excitement for experts too. There are a few black runs and off-piste opportunities in the valley, but the terrain isn't particularly challenging.

Niederau is a great fit for snowboarders, offering a variety of terrain to suit all levels. The Race'n'Boarder Arena is a particular highlight, with its timed slalom and giant slalom courses providing a thrilling challenge for more experienced boarders. For those looking to hone their freestyle skills, the resort's funpark features a range of obstacles including kickers, rails, and boxes.

Niederau offers a variety of off-piste opportunities for freeriders, with its steep and challenging terrains. The resort is known for its deep powder after a fresh snowfall, making it a haven for those who love to carve their own tracks. The Lanerköpfl area is particularly popular among freeriders, offering a mix of open fields and tree-lined runs for a thrilling off-piste experience.

Niederau is a family treasure, with lodging close to lifts and a top-notch ski school for the young ones. Off the slopes, kids can join Bobo's Children's Club, which offers everything from ski lessons to lunch and games. Families can also enjoy sleigh rides and if you're up for a day trip, there's even Olympic bobsleigh in Innsbruck.

The après scene in Niederau is a mixed bag. While the daytime can be lively around the gondola base, nighttime is more relaxed. Schnappshute is the place for high energy, while Dorfstub'n offers a range of bar games for a quieter evening.
