Hi,sorry for the delay in answering.

It was only 10mins by taxi from Neiderau to Hopfgarten and about 15 euros each way. You can then catch the gondola from Hopfgarten up the mountain,and the ski welt area you can ski is vast.We only skiied Soll,Itter and Brixham in the two days we had there. Definately want to go back and maybe stay in Soll next time so we can ski the rest. :D

Just got back today from Niederau, what can I say, other than has already been said. We were extremely lucky that it snowed and replenished the slopes.

Skiing there for a day was ok but for intermediate skiers that my hubby and I are, we found Auffach a much better area and a two day trip to the ski welt was the icing on the cake.

As for Niederau, we stayed at the Harfenwirt hotel and the owner Herbert seems to own quite a lot of properties including the two ski shops in N. He is quite a character!! but if you make friends with him it could be very helpful for your stay or if you live in Niederau.

The night life was limited but we met some great people and had a laugh in O'Malleys the Irish bar and the only club (if you can call it that!) The Cave.

Niederau is a good base to visit the surrounding ski areas and reasonable value for money.
