In Vent, at the end of the village, turn right over the art trail B-ART-EB'NE to Rofen. There, admire the works of international artists, walk past Ötzi's hunter camp and marvel at the former cross of the Wildspitze with a view of the summit. Past the rare raised bog, you cross the famous suspension bridge. Return the same way or take the paved road back to Vent.
