A mountaineering village deeply rooted in tradition.


Already in 1860 Franz Senn, one of the first tourism pioneers, discovered the favorite location for high Alpine mountaineers. He installed several walking paths and hiking routes in the surroundings of Vent. Tourism was kicked off by considerably improving the economic situation in the rear valley. Since then, the huge hiking trail network has been permanently extended and countless mountain refuge huts were built. Some of them are run by the Alpine Association. Later the first ski lift was built. More and more people came to the valley in order to enjoy a mountain holiday amid the picture-book Alpine scenery. Over the years, Vent has become one of the very few but highly renowned summer and winter holiday resorts off the beaten tracks. The magic Alpine landscape add to a really unforgettable stay among friendly locals who appreciate their valley and its traditions.
