If bruises are an indicator of how adventurous and fun your vacation was, then I can tell you I had an immensely great time at Area 47 in Tirol, Austria.

I don’t say this to alarm you – it’s a very similar experience to when you wake up after playing your favorite sport for the first time in a year and you can barely walk.

The body aches and pains, although sore, gives you a thrill because you know that you’ve used your body well and have been engaged in life.

That’s how I feel when I look at the bruises on my legs after visiting Austria’s largest outdoor adventure park, which has a 17 metre water slide that turns you into a human projectile!

But Area 47 in Otztal is not just about the water park, it has rock climbing, mountain biking, wake boarding and much more. It’s all about outdoor adventures with a thrill.

In this guide, I share my experience of visiting Area 47 and some of my favourite things to do there, so you can know what to expect from your visit.

About Area 47

I don’t even know how to describe Area 47 in Otztal, Tirol. It’s the Disneyland for adult thrill seekers and water adventurers.

It has climbing walls, slacklines, catapults, jumps, canyoning, high ropes courses, bungee jumping, and crazy waterslides.

It’s a place where you can test your courage, endurance, and fitness skills. Whether you’re tacking the high ropes course set 27 metres above the ground, or you’re traveling at 80 km an hour down the water ramp, or mountain biking in the indoor freeride area, there’s something for every adrenaline junkie here.

It’s moved on from being an extreme water park to an outdoor adventure park, and has four main zones: the water area, wake area, climbing area, and indoor bike park.

They also offer tours from canyoning and white water rafting, to mountain biking and caving.

Unlike traditional adventure parks, Area 47 doesn’t have a standard entry fee. You pay per experience or per zone, so you need to know what you want to do and how much time you have before purchasing tickets.

It’s popular for bachelor parties and boys day outs, but on the day we arrived, us ladies ruled the park.

Well maybe we tried to.
