Austrian Tirol has has a number of beautiful and enjoyable
ski resorts on offer. You can choose from:
 Wildschönau Ski Area - Beginners to Advanced
70km (15 km blues, 43 km reds, 12 km blacks) of well groomed slopes and 26 lifts . Dream conditions for every winter sport lover. There's something for every level of skier in the Wildschönau.
The Wildschönau ski resorts are particularly good for novices as most of the beginners lifts are in the village. It all makes learning to ski easy!
Niederau: - Lanerköpfl and the Markbachjoch Mountains in Niederau, there has been skiing since 1947. The first adventurous attempt at a single chair lift was built on wooden supports, where the state of the art eight-man gondola runs today. There are two or three blue runs on the wide ridge of the Markbachjoch but the runs to the valley, especially the Hochberg run or the deep black Stock run are solely for advanced skiers. It's only the Märchenwiese run where snow cannons can be used that can be classed as a red home run.
Auffach: - On the Schatzberg Mountain in Auffach, the Wildschönau's largest ski area, the runs are comparatively more gentle. The terrain is wide open and families and beginners feel at ease on the sunny ski motorways.
There is a Fun park for the boarders and one or two mogul fields and off piste runs if you want to test your strength. For those wanting to take the run from top to bottom a little fitness doesn't go amiss as the run is 10km long!
Oberau: - In Oberau there are five drag lifts for beginners and one black run on the Riedl slope.
