The Tour
MOUNTAINEERING VILLAGE VENT -> Circular route -> MOUNTAINEERING VILLAGE VENT
A little route in honor: Although ski tourers tend to think of the famous multi-day high-altitude route over the three-thousanders when they hear "Venter Runde," this mini version of the Venter Runde has the advantage that you can view the village from its most beautiful sides without a backpack and long planning. Follow the church along the street through the village, continue over the bridge, then turn left to the Reinstadler house. Pass the Gampen lift and walk about 1 km along the forest edge to the bridge over the Venter Ache, cross it and return to Vent via the street. Well prepared, possible for everyone.
During your round around Vent, visit the exhibition at Widum Vent or the changing exhibition in and around the small mountaineering chapel.
