A summer in scenic Ötztal is completely different from a monotonous beach holiday! Some 1,600 kilometers of hiking trails, natural trails and lines for downhill bikers or the 50-kilometer long Ötztal Cycle Trail enchant sporty summer guests. Some days are just perfect for relaxing in western Austria’s largest thermal spa resort, AQUA DOME, or simply enjoying the mountain air. Museums and nature parks provide exciting moments and great variety. AREA 47, the country’s largest outdoor adventure park, attracts visitors with thrilling rafting and canyoning tours, an XXL water slide park or wakeboarding facilities. On rainy days, Austria’s only indoor bike park offers beginners and professionals a sheltered training hall.
