The Tour
VENT -> PANORAMA RESTAURANT STABLEINALM
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.
Recommended:
a mountain and valley ride with the 6-seater Wildes Mannle chairlift at 2,646 m. Don't forget your camera!
