AREA 47 overview

Where water & happy hormones flow.
Highlights in the Water Park
The 20,000m² water park in the Ötztal in Tyrol re-defines water-based activities. Giant slides in the Waterslide Park and spectacular cliff diving. Overshoot the water ramp at high speed on your Zipfelbob and during some deep water solo bouldering land straight in the water. Or while blobbing turn into a living space hopper, before mastering the sharp bends while wakeboarding. There are classics too, such as the slackline and beach volleyball, in the biggest water leisure park in Tyrol.
For those who take-off on the vertical
The Climbing AREA
The right handhold. The perfect step. So close to the cliff face that you can almost hear your heart beat. Focus on the next point. Concentrate. And jump!

High ropes garden
One record beats the next – wit 27 open metres, the high ropes garden in AREA 47 is the highest in Austria. Directly beneath a bridge, with the rushing wild waters at your feet, you tackle oscillating tree trunks, wobbly platforms and swaying nets. A skateboard is even used when crossing beneath the bridge, as a rescuing object before the abyss. What do you need for this? Endurance, concentration and a huge helping of daring. A head for heights and being aged at least 12 are also requirements.
Mega Swing & Flying Fox
A rope up 30 m high. Directly over the water area. Experience the thrills and a brilliant view across the fun paradise in the Ötztal with the legendary Flying Fox. Your heart beats faster during the Mega Swing. Dare to leap? One step and you are in free fall. From one bridge pillar to another. A highlight in the AREA 47 leisure park in the Ötztal in Tyrol which has long enjoyed cult status with real outdoor fans.

We leave the secure realm of AREA 47 and head for the raw nature of the Alps. Thundering rivers. Gaping ravines and hard-core conditions take us to the limits of the imaginable. Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Pure adventure
A borderline experience in Ötztal‘s ravines
Untamed. Wild. Relentless – the ravines in the Ötztal are not designed for strolling. Rather you head steeply up in your neoprene suit. Abseiling passages up to 40 m. Rock fragments which are as high as a house. Natural slide sections through the inside of the cliffs and mighty waterfalls of course. Experienced tour guides provide the requisite safety and teach you the technique. Kids aged between 10 – 13 also get to gather their first ravine experiences in the Outdoor AREA. Experiences they will certainly not forget.
Together against the flow
It is said that whoever swims with the current won’t get to the source. But who wants that when with the current it is so much faster? Grab your oar and keep the raft balanced – or go swimming. Rafting in the Ötztal is a battle against the untamed power of nature, against yourself and the coldness of the flow. To start with you will learn all the requisite safety and rescue techniques. Then you can get going. Riding on the waves to adventure.
An excursion to the deep

Not for those who suffer from claustrophobia and those who are afraid of heights, for right at the start there is a considerable 110 metres down into the depths by rope to tackle.
