Hiking pleasure at the Venet
When the first sunrays light up the Glanderspitze, an unforgettable day of hiking begins. Whether you're looking for a cosy family route or a scenic summit tour, the Venet has something for everyone.
Our recommendation: a hike from Krahberg (2,208 m) to Glanderspitze (2,512 m).
Start: Venetbahn/Weinbergbahn mountain station.
Walking time: approx. 1.5 hours.
Afterwards, the panorama restaurant invites you to enjoy a well-deserved refreshment.
Tip: The well-known long-distance E5 hiking trail from Oberstdorf to South Tyrol passes directly by the Venet summit hut at the Venetbahn mountain station. An authentic stopover for tired hikers before descending into the Pitztal - an overnight stay at the Gipfelhütte.
Mountain bike tour at Venet
The tour starts at the valley station of the Venetbahn in Zams and initially leads to the castle in Landeck. Via the historic Via Claudia Augusta, you reach Fließ, where the path turns into a forest road leading up to the mountain station of the Venetbahn (2,212 m). The return journey is via the same route.
Tip: A cozy place to stop is the Jagerhütte in Fließ or the panorama restaurant directly at the mountain station of the Venetbahn.
Places to stop for refreshments
Even in summer, the Venet invites you to enjoy and relax. Numerous huts and alpine pastures offer regional specialties, cozy atmosphere and magnificent views of the Tyrolean mountains.
- Zammer Alm
- Jagerhütte Fließ
- Gogles Alm
- Meranz Alm
- Schihütte Zams
Whether cozy stop or enjoyable break – at the Venet, every hike can be rounded off with Tyrolean hospitality.
New Route
Important Info for E5 Hikers
From summer 2025: The descent from Burschlwand to Zams will go via the Zams Gravel Plant. The previous route via the highway bridge is closed.
The TirolWest Tourism Association will therefore be offering a shuttle service from the gravel plant to Zams town centre and Rifenal Valley station.

In the Kaunergrat Nature Park
The Venet mountain massif is located at the mountain station of the Venet cable car, which has a panoramic restaurant and a summit hut. It sits on the threshold of the Kaunergrat Nature Park, which extends along a prominent mountain ridge between the Pitztal and Kaunertal valleys. It is a true treasure trove of nature, offering great theme trails, nature playgrounds, and a nature park house with an interactive exhibition.
