Vent: Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vent worth a day off the Sölden pass?
Vent gives 15 km of easy to intermediate piste with very short lift queues, and a free ski bus runs from Sölden. It is included in the Ötztal Superskipass, so a three-day-plus ticket covers it already.
How high is the skiing?
The runs at Vent sit between 1,900 m and roughly 2,680 m, with the top station at Wildes Mannle at 2,646 m. The altitude keeps the small area snow-sure through the core winter.
What lifts are there?
Vent runs two chairlifts and two T-bar lifts, so there are no gondolas. That limits uphill capacity but also keeps the 15 km of slopes quiet.
What else is there to do?
Besides skiing, Vent has a 5 km toboggan run down from Stablein, reached by chairlift, plus 2 km of cross-country trail. The village is a recognised mountaineering base below the 3,770 m Wildspitze.
