Trail Map Venet

The Ski Resort

Venet is situated in the region of Oberinntal in Tyrol. It´s a real insider tip for everyone who likes to enjoy a breathtaking mountain world away from the hassle and craziness that are so characteristic for the huge ski resorts. This pretty much describes the calm and quietness of this relatively undiscovered resort. Since Venet is just a few minutes drive from the well frequented Inntal freeway away it´s fairly easy to get there for winter vacationers. The three base stations are Zams, Riefenal and Fliess.

With 22 kilometers (13,6 miles) of trails there´s more than enough terrain to satisfy all ability levels. In the valley area you´ll find a training lift for beginners. Venet always ranks among the most family friendliest resorts so a ski kindergarten can´t be missing. Look for it at the top station of the Venet gondola. The panorama trail is great to practice first curves but you´ll also meet intermediate skiers and snowboarders on your way down, those are also enjoying the fantastic view.
Intermediate trails in form of red slopes make up half of the terrain. Slip in your skis and off you go on the reds Rifenal trail or Weinberg trail. Venet is also well-know among Freeriders and cross-country skiers because here you´ll have more than enough options to go off-piste. Definitely check out the Venet or Meranza run.
