Hiking & Mountaineering

Vent can confidently be described as a place of longing for passionate mountaineers and hikers. The authentic mountain village owes this reputation to its historical ties to alpinism. Therefore, it also belongs to the illustrious circle of Austrian Mountaineering Villages. Time seems to stand still here, but you shouldn't do the same. Challenging peak tours, almost endless long-distance hiking trails, multi-day hut trekking tours, leisurely family hikes and educational themed trails await you. The summer mountain lifts make the mountain ascent and descent fairly easy, taking you effortlessly to the Alpine pastures & mountain huts while the Vent mountain guides accompany you safely over rocks, ice and snow.
