Oberau Piste Map and Overview
Oberau is a great base for skiing and snowboarding in the Ski Juwel Alpbachtal Wildschönau area, combining a relaxed Tyrolean village atmosphere with access to a varied, family-friendly mountain network. The wider area links Wildschönau with Alpbachtal, so visitors can move beyond Oberau’s gentle local terrain to explore long cruisers, tree-lined pistes and higher mountain skiing around Schatzberg and the Alpbachtal side. With 45 lifts, snow parks, fun slopes and plenty of mountain huts, it has enough variety to keep mixed-ability groups happy for several days.
It is especially appealing for skiers and snowboarders who want enjoyable, uncrowded-feeling days on the mountain rather than an intense party-resort experience. Intermediates have the broadest choice of terrain, while beginners can build confidence on the easier slopes and more experienced riders can seek out steeper pistes, ski routes and the two snow parks. The resort’s relatively modest peak altitude means it is best enjoyed during the core winter period, but its extensive snowmaking and upper slopes help support the season.

Is it good for beginners?
Yes. Oberau and the wider Ski Juwel area are a strong choice for beginners, particularly families and first-time skiers or snowboarders. The region is recognised as a Tyrolean family ski area, and the local network includes gentle pistes, beginner-focused areas and children’s facilities. As confidence grows, learners can progress onto the many easy and intermediate runs across Wildschönau and Alpbachtal without needing to change resort.
What’s included in the Ski Pass?
- A local Nauders–Bergkastel pass covers lifts and marked pistes at Bergkastelseilbahn Nauders / Skigebiet Nauders Bergkastel.
- The local ticket is the best fit if you plan to ski only Nauders, rather than paying for access to neighbouring mountains.
- The wider Zwei Länder Skiarena pass includes Nauders plus Schöneben–Haideralm at Reschensee and Watles, creating a three-resort network with around 158 km / 98 miles of pistes.
- There are broader regional passes accepted in Nauders too, including Snow Card Tirol, Tirol Regio Card and Ski 6; these are most relevant for longer trips or plans to ski well beyond the immediate Nauders area.
- Cheaper options are available: look for beginner/practice-lift tickets, shorter-duration passes, child/youth/senior categories, and local Nauders-only tickets rather than a multi-resort pass.
Does the ski pass include multiple resorts?

- Access to the resort’s snow parks, fun slopes, training areas and marked ski routes where open and appropriate for ability.The standard Ski Juwel pass covers the whole interconnected area, rather than just Oberau.Cheaper options are available if you do not need a full-day or multi-day area pass: the resort sells single lift trips, as well as 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-hour tickets. These are time-based alternatives rather than separate, cheaper multi-day passes limited to only a few named resorts.
