OBERGURGL -> Ramoljoch -> VENT
Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, ankle-high hiking boots, wind, rain and sun protection, hat, possibly gloves, is required for all hikes and routes. Bringing a first aid kit, a mobile phone and possibly a hiking map, as well as sufficient provisions for hikes without refreshment possibilities, is necessary.
The traditional march leads participants through the high alpine glacier world of the rear Ötztal up to the 3,200-meter-high Ramoljoch.
An event with views of the surrounding giant mountains of the Ötztal. Always on the first Sunday in August.
From Obergurgl over the Achbrücke initially somewhat steep to the "Beilstein", then over the Hochmähder to the Küppele shepherd's hut, further steeply upwards to the Ramolhaus and over the Ramol glacier and very rocky terrain in about 30 minutes to the entry of the Ramoljoch. There it is secured by rope, partly over ladders, to the Ramoljoch.
The descent leads over very rocky, steep terrain, then over an easier path to the Ramolalm (not managed!). From there descent to Vent. Only in good weather and with appropriate alpine equipment.
Surefootedness and fear of heights required!
