Unlimited mountain holidays:
your friendly base camp in the Ötztal Alps
Mornings, you set off refreshed and well fed into the high Alps above our mountaineering village at 1,900m above sea level. Return to the warm, cosy atmosphere of our guesthouse in the evening. It’s been that way since 1962, and we’ve never wanted to to anything else. Because at the Weisskugel, your room number is the only number you get. To us, you’re a person: we’ll have a chat after breakfast about the tour you have planned and talk about the ibexes you spotted over a refreshing beer in the afternoon. Warm, honest, attentive. That’s just the way we are.
See you soon here in Vent. We can’t wait to welcome you.
Christine and Roman, Arno, and Hannah
