beginner slopes niederau

After 20 years of not skiing, and not booked into ski school, I was wondering if the nursery slopes adjacent to the gondola were for everyone or only for ski school? I was hoping for a couple of practice runs before going up on the gondola. what do you think?

Hi

Im sure the nursery slopes are for everyone, there is plenty of them in Nieradau so you will be ok somewhere. Obviously gets busy esp in school hols.

Yep, we always have a run down the nursery slopes a few times just to warm up a bit and get the muscle memory working. :D

The only place in many years of skiing that I have come across where the nursery slopes are for ski school (and others have to pay to use them) is Adelboden in Switzerland - I thought your lift pass allowed you to use every slope - so for those who want to practice you have to use other higher slopes (but I have found a very nice slope high up that I play about on all day - called Tanzboden, which I understand translates as 'dancefloor' so I regularly waltz around here!)

HOWEVER in Niederau, everyone can use the nursery slopes at the bottom, both for ski school and practice, because this is sometimes just what everyone wants, or you just want to do some tweaking for a bit - or you are having a completely pants day and want to be within easy reach of the bar, cakeshop, the village or your hotel!! Higher up there is a lovely blue with a restaurant in the middle which I used to frequent (both slope and bar!) everytime we went to Niederau.

So the answer is - slopes are for everyone, and to be enjoyed as you have worked hard all year for it (well I know I have!!)
