The Area 47 in the Oetztal valley is considered the largest outdoor playing field of Europe.

Amazing 66,000 sqm large is the areal of the Area 47 at the entrance of the Oetztal valley, strictly speaking in Oetztal-Bahnhof, a village that belongs to Haiming. The area consists of different parts: Outdoor Area, Climbing Area, Water Area, Wake Area, Offroad Area, Living Area, Event Area and Food Area. As you might notice, this leisure facility is meant to combine swimming, climbing, events and much more.

However, let’s take a closer look at the single areas: in the Outdoor Area you can try canyoning, rafting and caving. The Climbing Area offers one of the most impressive climbing facilities all over Europe. Experts such as Mike Gabl and his team played an active part in planning this facility, offering the highest artificial climbing wall of Austria, a boulder cave and a deep water soloing bouldering wall. Furthermore you can experience climbing in the high-rope course in about 27 metres height. Now we proceed to the Water Area which offers bathing pleasure on 20,000 sqm at the bathing lake, including a water-slide park, Blobbing and Cannonball. And wakeboarding is possible in the Wake Area. One day is undoubtedly not enough!

The Offroad Area, however, is the cross-field for professionals and newcomers with courses which were planned by the famous Randy Mennenga who is also responsible for the X-Fighter Series of Red Bull. A paradise for mountain bike and E-motocross! The offers are completed by concerts, parties and sporting events at the River Haus Bar and the Open-Air Party Area (both part of the Event Area), the Food Area with the Argentinian BBQ Restaurant and the Lakeside Restaurant, and the Living Area with its double bed rooms, lodges and teepees.
