Welcome to walking in Niederau-Wildschönau

  • 300km+ trails through the Wildschönau valley
  • Ancient forests, tumbling gorges, and sweeping ridgelines
  • Fantastic for families, and easy on the wallet
Niederau-Wildschönau walking is a way of life. From rushing gorges to wonderful wildflower meadows - trails here offer valley views, plenty of “wow-factor”, and more cheese than you could shake a fondue stick at.
Families will adore the pushchair-friendly Auenweg path and Schönangeralm with its farm animals and cheese tastings, while casual walkers explore gentle valley routes and gondola-assisted hut walks.
And for the Alps summit-chasers? The 2,300m-high Grosser Beil, dramatic Kundl Gorge, and Gratlspitz ridgeline between Wildschönau and Alpbachtal await - with some of the best panoramic views in all of Austria's valleys.

How to get around Niederau-Wildschönau

How our self-guided Niederau-Wildschönau walking holidays work:

Our self-guided trips let you set your own pace, from the length of your stay, to how far you walk each day. But if you’re used to group or guided holidays, you might be wondering how you’ll get around? Well, it’s easy…

Getting to and around town:

Your airport transfer is included with your trip. Once there, you'll find Niederau is highly pedestrianised and easy to navigate. After settling in, you'll find many starting points for walks, forest play areas, and adventure spots start right from the centre of town - perfect for little legs!

Getting to your walks and hikes:

For those wanting to save their legs for the good stuff, hop on one of the two lifts departing straight from town to reach high-altitude hikes in a jiffy - both free with your Summer Card!
Hungry for more? The VVT Bus 770 runs hourly for hikes in nearby Oberau and Auffach, or hop on the Bummelbahn leisure train to trundle between village walks in style - choo, choo!
