Visitor Reviews of Auffach


Graeme Tucker from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

Just had a week in Niederau at a great Hotel (Sonneshine). No snow fall for three weeks but Auffach still had some good conditions. The queues at the lift weren't too bad apart from right at the start of the day. We had 1 week of boarding in Italy before but day two of the holiday found the red runs fine. By the end we could go on the black so they can't be too tough. Hard to judge without more experience. The main run (1) is pretty cool. Nice and long with a good mix of terrain to play about on. The warm conditions made it a bit slushy in the afternoons but still miles better than Niederau which has not much variety. The ski bus works great. If you buy your lift pass after 3.00pm ask for it to start the next day and you can ski that afternoon for free. If you collect it from the rep at the briefing it will be too late to get on the snow first day of arrival. The best of the options in the area.
