Winter sports in Austria: experience Niederau with 20% discount

  • Published on 29 September, 2025

Winter is just around the corner, and that means the Austrian Alps are preparing for another season filled with snow, fun, and relaxation. One of the most beautiful places to stay in Austria is Niederau, a charming mountain village in the Wildschönau Valley in Tyrol. Here, you’ll find everything that makes a ski holiday in Austria unforgettable: excellent slopes, family-friendly facilities, cozy restaurants, and luxury apartments with wellness amenities.

This season, your holiday becomes even more appealing: enjoy a 20% discount on your stay at our apartment complexes Residenz Drachenstein and Kristall Plaza. Perfect for families, grandparents, or couples looking to share a magical getaway in the snow.

Luxury apartments in Niederau

A ski holiday only truly feels like a holiday when you return after a day on the slopes to a comfortable and stylish apartment. In Niederau, Romex Restate offers two exceptional complexes: Residenz Drachenstein and Kristall Plaza.

Residenz Drachenstein, just 500 meters from the ski lift, features spacious apartments and penthouses for groups of 2 to 12 people. Each unit boasts a modern living room, a luxurious Tieleman-designed kitchen, and elegant bathrooms. From your private balcony or terrace, you can enjoy breathtaking views over the village and the snow-covered Wildschönau mountains.

A highlight is the wellness area with a jacuzzi, sauna, and steam bath, making Drachenstein a favorite for families with young children and grandparents who appreciate a touch of relaxation after an active day.

Kristall Plaza is more intimate but offers a unique advantage: it is located right on the slopes, next to the Markbachjoch gondola. No need to carry your skis, just step outside and you’re in the snow. This makes the complex a dream for avid skiers and snowboarders who want to maximize their time on the mountain.

With five luxury apartments and a spacious penthouse, Kristall Plaza combines comfort with convenience. Thanks to its central location in the village, shops, ski schools, and restaurants are all within walking distance. Even Glennie’s, the on-site restaurant, is right downstairs, perfect for a cozy evening out without leaving the building.

Skijuwel Alpbachtal Wildschönau: a diverse ski area

One of Niederau’s greatest assets is its direct access to the Skijuwel Alpbachtal Wildschönau ski area. With over 110 kilometers of slopes, the resort is known for its welcoming atmosphere and excellent facilities.

Families will love the wide blue runs and dedicated children’s areas where little ones can make their first turns. Local ski schools offer lessons in multiple languages so parents can relax knowing their kids are in safe hands.

More advanced skiers and snowboarders will also find plenty of challenge, from steep red and black runs to mogul slopes and freeride opportunities. Thanks to modern lifts and the connection between the Wildschönau and Alpbachtal valleys, you can discover a new route every day.

For even more variety, take a short 10-minute drive to Auffach, another charming village in the same ski region. Auffach is especially popular for its wide, open slopes, perfect for endless carving, and its lively après-ski bars: ideal for unwinding with a drink or celebrating a day on the mountain. This way, you can enjoy the best of both worlds: Niederau’s cozy atmosphere and Auffach’s vibrant après-ski scene.

And that’s not all. The region also offers cross-country skiing, snowshoe hikes, tobogganing, and even romantic horse-drawn sleigh rides through the valley. A ski holiday in Austria becomes so much more than just skiing. It’s a complete alpine experience.

Beyond the slopes: winter activities in Niederau

While skiing and snowboarding may be the focus of your trip, there’s plenty more to discover in Niederau and its surroundings.

Take a winter hike through snow-dusted forests, where the stillness feels almost magical. Spend an afternoon tobogganing with the whole family for laughter and thrills. If relaxation is what you crave, the spa at Residenz Drachenstein is the perfect spot to soothe tired muscles and recharge your energy.

Foodies will also be delighted. From traditional Austrian dishes such as Kaiserschmarrn and Tiroler Gröstl to international specialties, local restaurants offer something for every taste. And if you’re staying at Kristall Plaza, you don’t even have to leave the building to enjoy a wonderful meal at Glennie’s.

For a change of pace, the lively town of Wörgl is just a short drive away. With its shops, cafés, and cultural attractions, it’s an ideal destination for a day trip.

A family holiday in the snow

What makes Niederau truly special is its versatility. For young families, it’s a safe and manageable resort with child-friendly slopes and Dutch-speaking instructors. Couples will love the romance of a luxury apartment with mountain views, combined with cozy evenings in charming restaurants. Grandparents can enjoy quality time with children and grandchildren while still maintaining their own privacy in a comfortable two-person apartment.

Choosing between Residenz Drachenstein and Kristall Plaza depends on your preferences.

If you seek peace, wellness, and space, Residenz Drachenstein is the ideal choice.

If you want to step straight from your apartment onto the slopes and be in the middle of the action, Kristall Plaza is your perfect match.

Imagine your ideal week

Picture this: you arrive in Niederau on a Saturday afternoon. Snowy peaks rise around you as gondolas glide gently overhead. At your apartment, the house manager greets you warmly. While the kids excitedly explore their rooms, you make a hot chocolate on the balcony, taking in the mountain view.

The next morning, the crisp alpine air fills your lungs as the children head to their first ski lessons. You and your partner ride the Markbachjoch gondola for a few scenic runs before meeting up at a mountain hut for steaming bowls of goulash soup. Later in the week, you trade skiing for tobogganing, a snowy hike, or a day in the wellness area. Every evening ends with a homemade meal in your apartment or a night out at Glennie’s.

After seven days of snow, laughter, and relaxation, you head home with a suitcase full of memories. This is what a ski holiday in Austria is meant to be.
