Area 47 Tours

The largest outdoor adventure park in Austria and one of the biggest in all of Europe, Area 47 offers visitors extreme adventure and adrenaline-fueled activities in a safe environment. You can journey through gorges, into deep caves, and through wild white-water rapids, and even transform yourself into a human cannonball.

The Basics
Area 47 is made up of several distinct sections. Try canyoning, rafting, and caving activities in the Outdoor Area, or take on the highest artificial climbing wall in Austria, a boulder cave, and a deep-water bouldering wall in the Climbing Area. The Water Area has a bathing lake, waterslide park, and the Cannonball, a water jet that catapults you into the air. You can try out your wakeboarding skills in the Wake Area and mountain biking and motocross in the Freeride Area. The park also has accommodations and eateries, including a barbecue restaurant, beach bar, and casual café.
