Appropriate equipment such as breathable and weather-appropriate outdoor clothing, wind, rain, snow and sun protection, a hat and gloves, is required for all hikes and routes.
Carrying a first aid kit, a mobile phone, and possibly a route map, as well as sufficient provisions on tours without refreshment options, is necessary.
A relatively flat, atmospheric winter hiking route leads from Vent to the beautifully situated Rofen farms in the namesake Rofen valley, which extends southwards up to the glaciers of the main Alpine ridge. From the entrance to Vent, you walk over the bridge to the valley station of the Ochsenkopf lift, where the winter hiking route begins. It runs along the foot of the Talleit peak and past the old cross of the Wildspitze, which dates from 1933, was replaced in 2010, and brought down to the valley. After a short stretch, you go right over a suspension bridge to the Rofen farms. Refreshments are available at the Gasthof Rofenhof.
Travel comfortably and safely by train to the Ötztal railway station. The terminus or exit point is the ÖTZTAL station. Afterwards, you can conveniently and quickly travel through the entire valley to your desired destination using public transport or local taxi companies! The current bus timetable is available at: http://fahrplan.vvt.at
In the mountaineering village of Vent, the following parking options are available.
- In summer in front of the village (parking ticket machine, coins or EC card only) and at the valley station of the chairlift (at the mountain railway ticket office)
- In winter only at the valley station of the chairlift.
Cost: € 6.00 per day/car
