AREA 47 - Tirol - Ötztaler Achstr. 1

A must do in life. One of the most interesting and well organized adventure parks in the world (and we visit a lot). If you like challenges this is the place. Fun, clean water directly from the spring, adrenaline and many smiles. We are on our second visit and we can hardly wait to return.

Where to begin! This place is thee adventure hub! We chose this as our honeymoon destination as we are a couple that can't just sunbathe on a beach. We love wakeboarding and this has been one of the best cable parks we visited! Wakepark - One of the guys (Joe) at the cable park us some great coaching and managed to land a few toe side Tantrums (aka back flips). The wife even managed to hit all the obstacles and some air grabs & rotations (this is a big step up for her). Thanks to all the guys & girls at the wake park. E-motorcross - I love motorcross and the e-bikes were good fun, the course was big enough to have fun on it if you are experienced and it is easy enough for a complete beginner. My wife has never done motorcross and she loved it, in fact she was the last one on the track and the marshal had to bring her in once the time was up! MTB - we did a full day doing the single track bike park in Sölden. This was epic! Area 47 provided the bikes and all the protective gear but you need to make your own way to Sölden. We had a hire car and it was about a 35 min drive from Area 47 to the car park in Sölden. As long as you aren't afraid of heights then the MTB is well within your capability. We had a great guide and coached us as well on how to corner quicker on steeper sections. Lunch is not provided so remember to bring cash. We ate in the mountains at a place our guide recommended. Waterpark - The waterpark area is great! Lots of slides, jumps, climbing wall, slack line, trampoline and a beginner 2.0 system for learning wakeboarding. Plenty of grass to go and relax on and a bar to get a beer or juice. If your brave enough there are a few high diving boards. Also they have a huge blobbing bag which is both great to watch and to have a go! To sum up, this place is amazing and caters for all ages and abilities. We will be back as we had such an amazing time!

One big dissapointment. We went only for wakeboard and we traveled 8 hours from Czech Republic, the only possitive thing about this place is surrounding. Really beautiful hills and mountains and clear water. But the cable is terrible, short, placement of obstacles is one big failure, boyas placed totally wrong, staff is mean, we came for 3 days and we did not get lockers for our stuff cuz it was "full" and the parking is from cable 2km. And we had lot of stuff. Terrible waving, long queues all day, opened only from 12-13o'clock, limit 5 rounds. Maybe good for beginners who came to the Area to try various kinds of new acitivties but don't ever go here if you want to experience good wakeboarding. In addition, it is forbitten to take a bath here. The lake is very small, if you do bigger air trick, one is affraid not to touch the ground around the lake.

Looking for adrenaline rush? Definitely the top place to visit. For reasonable prices if you dare you get the thrill of your life. Or just try something new under supervision of somebody who really knows how it should be done in a safe way.

The place is nice, full of activities and surrounded by an amazing scenery. However, the first thing we noticed, still standing in line to the Kassa, is that women are not allowed to use the free fall slide. This is totally unacceptable, we are not in the 18th century! Even if this is “due to safety reasons” as you claim, you should leave the choose to the women, if they want to take the risk. Reading this made us totally disappointed from the place.

Great location for an exciting day. Had a blast here with the family. Lots to do and great for groups. The downside, the pictures make it look bigger than it is and it’s not ideal for smaller kids which we didn’t read anywhere. Not a bad place and we will be back. Thank you.

Fun place for sports and activities. Way overpriced and groups are definitely too big. Sports equipment such as neoprene suits need more attention and might be in too heavy use, they smell quite bad, which is a major downside. Tours with other providers in nearby towns are better in value as they are more private and individual. Bike tours however at area are highly recommended as they have state of the art, brand new bikes, helmets and shoes. The water area is a waste of time, the place is set up nice and seems to have it all, sure to find out quickly that the wait for almost all attractions is an absolute buzz killer. Way too over crowded. Thank god it was included in our tour, the normal entrance is ridiculous for what you get.

The park was very nice, the obstacle course over the water was especially fun since I visited with friends and could race them. Sadly, I didn't have the chance to try the high ropes course, but I was able to participate in the white water rafting, which I found to be a thrilling experience! Because of its location, the water was a bit cold, but looking past that, the park is great!
