FROM THE GLACIER TO THE MOUNTAINEERING VILLAGE
Enjoy the high alpine area and unobstructed views of the Upper Ötztal without any climbs - this tour makes it possible. Hikers find themselves at eye level with the glaciated summit ridges and roam fascinating, pristine mountain landscapes.

The red (moderately difficult) panoramic hike begins at the Tiefenbach glacier high above Sölden and is also suitable for families and leisurely mountaineers. From the starting point at around 2,800 m, the approx. 11 km long high-altitude trail leads down to the mountaineering village of Vent at around 1,900 m, with most of the downhill metres falling in the last third of the tour. Before that, the hiking trail runs from the glacier over the slopes of Mutboden, Weißkar and Sonnenberg to lush alpine meadows, and at every turn the magnificent view invites you to pause. Always in view: the Weißkamm and the opposite mountain ridges from the Nederkogel to the Grosser Ramolkogel.

Anyone who sets off in the early hours of the morning will be rewarded with magical lighting and absolute mountain solitude. But even a little later, the path remains pleasantly quiet. Hikers reach a highlight at the Weißkar, where a green mountain lake nestles in a hollow. After around 4.5 hours of walking, the inns in the quaint mountaineering village of Vent are just the thing to restore energy levels and reflect on the day over some tasty treats.

Tip: You should only start the high-altitude panoramic trail if the weather forecast is stable, as there is no option to descend into the valley early.

With the Ötztal Inside Summer Card, the bus rides from Sölden to the Tiefenbachferner and the return journey from Vent are free.

Idyllic mountain lake, made for a picnic or to cool down your feet.

The halfway point of the fantastic and easy Ötztaler Höhenweg trail. In the section Weisseskar - Tiefenbachgletscher, be careful when passing people coming down the mountain. The path is not difficult but narrow and runs on very steep slopes in some places.
