Overview

Hotel Sonnschein is a fantastic choice for a relaxed ski holiday in Niederau, combining a peaceful location with excellent facilities. Set in a quieter part of the resort, it offers a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of opportunities to unwind after a day on the slopes.

The hotel blends traditional Alpine charm with modern comfort. The original building features a classic Tyrolean style, while the newer wings add a contemporary touch. Throughout your stay, you'll enjoy warm hospitality and inviting spaces designed for relaxation.

Dining is a highlight, with a varied menu featuring both regional Tyrolean specialities and international favourites, alongside vegetarian options. In the evenings, settle into a cosy spot by the fireplace in the lounge and share stories from the slopes over a drink.

For post-ski relaxation, the hotel's impressive spa is the perfect retreat. There are two indoor pools, including a family-friendly pool and a separate adults-only pool, giving everyone space to unwind. Whirlpools and underwater massage jets add a touch of luxury, while saunas and steam rooms provide the ideal way to soothe tired muscles. For an extra treat, a range of massages is also available, helping you fully switch off and recharge for another day in the mountains.

About Niederau

With nursery slopes right by the village centre and gentle blue runs higher up the mountain, Niederau is an excellent choice for first-time skiers. The local ski area is compact and easy to navigate, making it simple to find your way around. Plus, with restaurants at both the top and bottom of the main gondola, meeting friends and family for a leisurely slopeside lunch couldn't be easier. If you're ready to explore more, the free ski bus links Niederau with nearby Auffach, giving you access to the full 114km of pistes across the Ski Juwel area.

Nestled in a picturesque wooded valley, Niederau is a traditional Austrian village filled with timber-clad chalets and centred around a striking Gothic church. Its compact size means many hotels and apartments are just a short walk from the slopes. Accommodation is cosy and welcoming, with friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere that perfectly suits the village's laid-back charm. When the lifts close, evenings are generally low-key, though the lively karaoke nights at the Cave Bar offer a fun change of pace.

Away from the pistes, there's plenty to keep everyone entertained. Families can try their hand at building a snowy shelter on an igloo-building course, while those looking to explore can follow scenic winter walking trails through the valley. Or, for a more leisurely way to take in the snowy surroundings, hop aboard a traditional horse-drawn sleigh ride.
