niederau

Niederau is probably the best known village in the Wildschönau, a picturesque village above the major Inn valley junction of Wörgl in the Austrian Tyrol.

Niederau is just one the ski areas in the valley and, although it is the more popular, the villages of Auffach and Oberau also offer a good alternative for a winter holiday, with their own specific attractions.

The fertile mountain meadows in the Wildschönau were settled many centuries ago by farmers who cleared the forests from the valley floor and tamed the swamps beside the mountain streams. Silver was mined towards the more remote part of the valley and wood was also an important resource.

These days farming is still an important part of the valley's economy along with winter and summer tourism.

Niederau is the main centre of hotel accommodation, although there is a selection available in the other villages of the valley.
