Snow Buddies - Ski Trip Information
Niederau
Niederau is a very small ski area well suited for absolute beginners, equipment is a problem and the majority of hotels are not ski in ski out.
The resort does not suit the ability levels of the skiers who travel with Snow Buddies so we will not be running trips to Niederau in the future.
If you want details of charities that do ski in Niederau contact us via the form at the bottom of the page.
