From Obergurgl over the Achbrücke initially slightly steep to the "Beilstein", then over the Hochmähder to the Küppele-Shepherd's hut, continuing steeply up to the Ramolhaus and over the Ramolferner and very rocky terrain in about 30 minutes to the Ramoljoch access point. There it is secured with ropes, 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 suitable alpine equipment.
Surefootedness and sure-handedness required!
Walking times:
Obergurgl - Ramolhaus: 3 - 4 h
Ramolhaus - Ramoljoch: approx. 1 h
Ramoljoch - Vent: 3.5 - 4 h
