Area 47 Ötztal - Bahnhof

In the heart of the Ötztal Alps, specifically in the mouth of a river of the Ötztal Ache, lies a generously and widely built huge lake, located in the Area 47, which spans around 7000 m² (8372 square yards) and is supplied by clear mountain water. The lake is subdivided into two swimming areas: Either zone contains a 150 m (164 yards) long rest and swimming area, while the other has a more sporty character, being close to the gastronomic area of the lake. Both areas are clearly separated from each other through a floating bridge and swimming cordon chains. The vast lying surfaces offer space and opportunities for approximately 1,500 guests to bask in the sun and relax. Parasols, sun beds and balls can directly be hired at the cash desk.

Blobbing: The Jumper will be jumping on a rubber hose that is filled with air. The person sitting on the other end will be tossed up into the air.  

Slide park: Facilitated with a water catapult and five slides the ‘Rutschenpark’ (slide park) guarantees fun and adrenalin for kids and adults alike.

Freefall slide: The velocity will reach up to 80 km/h (50 mph) on the way down to the valley. Attention: Not suitable for female visitors!

270 degree twister slide: On the whole, with a length of 140 m (153 yards) one can expect curves, jumps and many changes of direction. 

Wave: Expect slides and a mogul slope.

Kids slide: Accessible to all our little guests.

Cannonball water catapult: Human cannonballs wanted! Relentless hydrogen will push you from behind, followed by a 10 m flight into the swimming lake.

Diving platform: Access to the 27 m high diving platform will only be granted to absolute pros! It will only be opened for competitions, during training sessions and specific shows. For our guests the 10 m (11 yards) high diving platform is freely accessible.    

Water ramp:  With your snowboard or skies from the water ramp into the cool wet. Skies and snowboards need to be brought along by yourself, however, 'Zipfelbobs', neoprene suits and life jackets can be hired free of charge with us! For reasons of safety, using the water ramp will only be allowed to visitors with a certain degree of experience. Under supervision, training will be offered to beginners.

Climbing area: Fees for using the climbing facilities are included in the admission fees of the water area already. Of course, climbing is only allowed with suitable equipment. Visitors may wish to bring along their own equipment or, if needed, we also offer some for rent on-site.
