Description

SAUTENS -> Au -> Brunau -> AREA 47

Map & elevation profile

SAUTENS -> Au -> Brunau -> AREA 47

The hike starts at the beginning of Sautens, immediately after the bridge to the right at the swimming pool/leisure center. From there, you walk down an asphalted path to the Ötztaler Ache and follow the river past the recycling yard and the hamlet Au. Cross the Ache via a bridge and arrive in the hamlet Brunau. There, stay at the edge of the forest and meadows and follow a gravel path that eventually leads to the asphalt driveway to AREA 47.

AREA 47 is the largest outdoor adventure park in Austria, offering plenty of fun and action for adrenaline junkies. Whether in the Water Area with a bathing lake, blobbing, and slide tower, or on the wild water with rafting or canyoning. You can also climb high in the ropes course about 27m above the ground or try the Mega Swing. There is the right sport for everyone.

Author's tip
A walk around the grounds of AREA 47 is worthwhile! There is a lot to see, including a private lake with a wakeboarding facility at the end of the area.
