WILDSCHONAU SKIING

The skiing in the Wildschonau ski region is characterised by beginner and intermediate slopes that have limited vertical and are mostly tree-lined. The ski area statistics in Wildschonau somewhat distort the actual ski terrain, giving advanced skiing a higher prominence than is the reality. The advanced pistes are relatively steep in places but these steeps are short and are not sufficiently challenging to merit advanced classification generally. The ski area above Niederau is possibly the most popular and consists of red and blue pistes and is almost all tree-lined. Oberau is the biggest village (being the administrative centre of Wildschonau) but has the most ski area in Wildschonau. There is a small beginners area just above the village but little else really.

THE GOOD, THE BAD

  We like:
Great for families and beginners

  We don`t like:
Very little advanced skiing. Small skiable vertical.

WILDSCHONAU SKI INFORMATION

Of the three ski villages in Wildschonau, Auffach offers the biggest and highest ski area. It also has the more challenging terrain with ski pistes nearly all classified as red. Skiing around the Schatzberg peak is above the tree-line which is a rarity for the Wildschonau ski area.

Visited resort for 3 years Despite poor snow 2006 still managed a great sking holiday. Villages are small and compact which allows you to experience the real Tyrol...Great Ski Schools, efficient lift sysyem and family friendly apres ski. I would recommend this resort to beginners and intermediate skiers and snowboarders. Strictly no posers.....

One of the best beginner ski areas in Austria – for the terrain and the number of those in the same boat. Intermediate skiing is ok but better intermediates will soon cover the area. Very little for the better skiers and snowboarders.
