Easy hiking path; suitable for beginners and walkers. Please note the current weather report at: www.oetztal.com/de/sommer.html
Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain, and sun protection, a hat, and possibly gloves are required for all hikes and routes.
Carrying a first aid kit, a mobile phone, a water bottle with sufficient liquid, hiking poles, and possibly a hiking map is recommended.
The starting point is in Vent at 1,900 m at the Rofen P9 intersection. From there we first walk 500 m along the piste.
After about 500 m, the path branches off to the right and we first walk flatter, then steeper. Along the way, there are always cozy seating areas perfectly positioned to offer a magnificent view of the mountain village located in the valley basin.
After about 1 hour, the path leads us inward into the valley and after a good half hour, we reach the beautifully situated Stableinalm at 2,354 m. The wonderful sun terrace offers an incredible view of the Rofen valley and the mighty Ötztal mountain world.
At the restaurant awaits us a hearty lunch.
After having coffee on the panorama terrace and enjoying one last look at the beautiful panorama, we can take the double chairlift back to Vent or hike the five kilometers back to the valley.
Alternative: You hike below the chairlift on the steep, narrow hiking path with many switchbacks, walking time 1 hour - also suitable as a circular route.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal railway station. The final stop or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Then travel comfortably and quickly with public transport or local taxi services throughout the valley! The current bus schedule can be found at: http://fahrplan.vvt.at

- In summer, in front of the village (parking meter, coins or EC card only) and at the valley station of the chairlift (at the mountain railways ticket office)
- In winter, only at the valley station of the chairlift.
Cost: €6.00 per day/car
