THE MOUNTAINEERING VILLAGE AT THE END OF THE VALLEYSurrounded by several three-thousanders and an impressive mountain backdrop lies the lively mountaineering village Vent. In midsummer, many people with large backpacks and climbing equipment gather in this manageable village. The paths of climbers lead to the Wildspitze or to the site where “Ötzi” was found!Not far from the village center, a narrow path leads over green mountain meadows and wild mountain streams that make their way down to the valley to flow later into the Venter Ache. The higher you get, the more bizarre and unforgettable the panorama becomes. The glacier-covered 3,000-meter peaks slowly come back into view.The path passes the Tiefenbach Glacier, where countless winter sports enthusiasts prove themselves in winter. When descending to the Gaislachalm huts, you immerse yourself in the feeling of “being away from everyday life.” Deep breaths and enjoyment await at the stage destination in idyllic Gaislach high above Sölden.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal station. The terminus or getting off point is ÖTZTAL station. Then you can conveniently and quickly continue your journey through the whole valley to your desired destination by public transport or local taxi companies.
