Resort Information & Things to Do
The enchanting high valley of Wildschönau lies between the Kitzbühel and Ziller Valley Alps and is home to four traditional, picturesque villages: Niederau, Oberau, Auffach and Thierbach. They are all delightfully unspoilt and due to their central location in Tyrol, offer a perfect base for exploring the local area and also further a field. Activities available locally include: Walking and Hiking: Niederau and the Wildschönau Valley is a walker?s paradise. The 300 kilometres of marked trails will lead you over lush meadows, through pine forests and past century old mountain farms to spectacular peaks. Two gondola lifts in the valley operate in summer, making the higher paths and magnificent Alpine scenery easily accessible. Cyling and Mountain Biking: A range of less energetic cycle paths are to be found in the valley. Experienced mountain bikers will enjoy the more challenging higher routes. Nordic Walking: Wildschönau has a fabulous Nordic Fitness Sports Park with 7 trails from 2 to 10 kilometres long. The Wildschönau Outdoor Pool Centre is situated between Niederau and the next village of Oberau. The complex has several pools (including one for children), water slide, beach volleyball court, large sunbathing lawn, children?s playground and restaurant with sun terrace. Horse riding, tennis and mini-golf are also available. A great range of day excursions to nearby places of interest may be booked locally. Destinations include Grossglockner (Austria?s highest mountain), Krimml Waterfalls (Europe?s highest waterfall), historical Salzburg, the Tyrolean provincial capital of Innsbruck, famous salt mines, scenic lakes, impressive castles and palaces.
