Discover Area 47: Austria's Ultimate Outdoor Adventure Park
Area 47 at the entrance to the Ötztal in Tyrol is Austria's ultimate outdoor adventure park and one of the best things to do in Tirol on a summer day. Its Water AREA is no ordinary waterpark: it's a playground built for adrenaline.
Get launched up to 19 m into the air on the Blob, race down giant water slides, try the wakeboard park or work up the courage for the cliff-jumping tower, where the pros of the Red Bull Cliff Diving series train. Families can stick to the easier slides and pools, so there's something for every level.
Plan a whole day, bring a wetsuit if you have one, and get ready to send it!
