Jack - I own the Turnip Inn and the Apsley ski lodge in Niederau.... First thing you do when you get to resort is pop and see us! We will sort you out with all your freebies and tell you how to access the 1100km skiing in and around. See you soon - Tom and Daz

Jack, another Niederau regular here. This winter will be my 46th year since I first skied in Niederau. I agree that Tom is a good first port of call.
As you might guess, after 46 years, my view of the village may be slightly positive. You asked of Niederau as a view as a resort
Niederau is an old village, it had the first full mountain lift in Tirol. built in 1946. Please do not believe the rumours that I was on the first lift....
I always stay at the top end of the village, the edge of Niederau, and technically in Grafenweg. The main hotel here is the Harfenwirt, owned by by long term friend Herbert. The nearby 550 year old Bichlwirt is run by Herbert's sister, Maria. Herbert ofttimes plays the harp there, and many is the night I have hung alongside with guitar or banjo. There is a lift that will get you to the village.
In the village centre, is the church, the Hotel Austria, owned by the Blackfelder family. Blackfelder used to be my boss, as he owned the ski school. Down the side road is the Staffler, a lively, and low cost hotel, with the Cave Bar. Also near the centre is the Hotel Simmelwirt, also a 500+ year hotel.
Lower down the road is the junction with the Wörgl road, associated with several accomodations. Carrying straight over the junction the road leads to Oberau, the Gemeindant of the valley. This village includes the over 1000 year old Kellerwirt hotel.
I have known, and skied with many of the reps in Niederau, and so look forward to meeting up. Should you have any specific questions, please don't hesitate to PM me.

It does sound very 'English' though, in what appears to be a very traditional Tyrolean village.

Yep - agreed it does. That's because we are English. Not trying to be Austrian - need a bit of diversity, but I guess time will tell. Cheers
