Cooling down in Area 47
After so many hot days, we needed a break from climbing and, above all, a proper cool-down. That's why we (Magnus, Phillip and Julie) unpacked our climbing shoes from the car and packed our wakeboards in the morning and set off for Area 47 at the entrance to Ötztal. The area shuttle takes you comfortably from the parking lot through the classic area to the beautifully situated wake area. Both beginners and pros can hire equipment in the wakeshop. 1h to max. 2 hours are completely sufficient (extremely sore muscles). 40€ for a wake afternoon with food and drink is definitely enough.

And then it was off into the crystal clear water! After several attempts, all participants managed to circle the entire lake and take one or two obstacles along the way. And even if you don't do laps of the lake, the hammocks and cushions create a cozy atmosphere where you can spend a wonderful day just watching. Chilled sound accompanies the entire facility and the staff also convey the absolute surfer feeling, pushing and motivating everyone who dares to cross the lake. We particularly liked the acoustic motivation provided by the horns and hoots of the "lifters" while surfing.

Wakeboarding in Area 47 - a welcome change
As this is a nice change from climbing, the Mauerfix will certainly not have surfed for the last time. Starting with their arms and ending with their thighs, the sore muscles lasted for several days. You can tell that climbing and wakeboarding are definitely not comparable.
