snow conditions in Niederau

Sorry Adele, you are the last person I would over egg Niederau, I know how much you love the place.

Sorry caron-a, you cannot encapsulate Niederau in a brochure, you have to experience it, get the different life flavours.

Herbert Thaler and I used to play harp and banjo together, when Herbert was just a farm boy. Now he owns several hotels, he doesn't need to play harp every night, but he does do it.

Sepp Schellhorn operates one of the best ski schools, with high standards.

The skiing is limited but fairly challenging.

The views from the top out to the Kitzbuhle Alps are terrific.

The Wildschoenau valley was formed when an angry dragon bit out a huge chunk of ground, thereby releasing a vast lake, forming the Kundle Klamm, and also forming the valley now containing Niederau, Oberau, Muhtal, Thierbach and Auffach.

In 1809, the Wildsconeau Sturmloden troop led by Major Jacob Margreiter led a series of fierce battles against Napoleons' troops, in the Inn Valley, winning several against impossible odds.

Have just re-read this, I think I should get out more.

Caron-a you`ll have to go and see for yourself what Niederau is like,or have a look at Jan`s web site and look at the lovely photo`s he and his mrs have taken.
Dave all this reminiscing about the good old day`s, Your showing your age now I think 6 weeks skiing should just about have blown the cobwebs off you.

Age or not, Adele, I'm still pretty nifty down the Mercanwiess and the Tennladen, or Runs 19 and 23 as you would know them.

Unfortunately, the spiders now have 9 months or so to regrow the cobwebs, .........while I plan a trip to Utah!!

That run red 19 and red 23 are excellent!! I was loving them in the middle of March when I was there and the slopes weren't that busy either.

I did ski 3 out of the 6 days in Auffach tho. But I love the place all the same.

It gets the thumbs from me
