Skiing — Exploring Niederau, Austria
A quick look around Niederau, Austria
January 2015
I liked the town of Niederau. Yes, it is small, but it has most of the things needed for a ski holiday. The town has a few bars, places to eat, a petrol station, two supermarkets, several hotels, a good bus service, a ski hill, and extensive cross-country skiing tracks. It is a real town and not an artificial ski town.
It isn’t the town to come to for a riotous week of skiing, but it is the place to go for a quiet, relaxing week.
One odd thing about Niederau is that there isn’t an obvious town centre. There is no apparent central point or square. The town consists of houses along the roads, interspersed with farm-like buildings, which are still working beef or dairy farms, judging by the smell (a smell I like).
Below is an example of a ‘town-farm’ building.
