Cycling in Vent

The route leads through the Venter Valley, a romantic side valley of the Ötztal, and can be excellently explored by road bike. The mountaineering village of Vent, the main town of the valley, is considered the cradle of the Alpine Club. The idyllic hamlet of Rofen with the Rofen farms, the highest year-round operated farms in Austria at 2014 m above sea level, alone make this easy to moderate route worthwhile.

This very technical and physically demanding crossing of the Alps takes us from the Allgäu to Riva del Garda. On the route, we will ride some unforgettable trails but also have to cover some sections on foot.
