They are the epitome of a mountaineer's happiness: endless hut to hut tours at the rear end of Ötztal valley and in close vicinity to the South Tyrolean border located somewhere between rock, ice and summit crosses. The multi-day hikes around Vent, the popular Vent Loop Tour and a detour into Schnalstal side valley lead right to the heart of this fascinating high Alpine landscape.
Before starting a tour you should always inform someone about the destination and the time you expect to come back to the valley! Glacier crossings must be made in a group and require a rope. Accurate tour planning and complete Alpine equipment are the essential things of a safe and successful hut hike. Less experienced hikers should enlist a local mountain guide.
Important information: overnight stays are only possible on advance booking. Contact details for your reservation can be found here.
