Vent is a small village in Ötztal, at almost 1900m altitude.
From here you can go by aerial cableway... | Up to Stablein at 2300m. Here's where the trek towards Wildes Mannle begins. In the background is Talleitspitze, 3406m. | To the west you can see Breslauer Hütte. From there the slopes continue up towards Urkundkolm. |

After a while you can see the top, it doesn't look far at all.
But 700 altitude meters takes some time anyway. | The most impressive with this climb is that you pass the
slopes of Wildspitze, the second highest mountain in
Austria, 3774m. Here is the glacier from Wildspitze
down to Rofenkar. | After a little steeper section it levels out again and we can see the peak ahead. |

Wildspitze seen from the top of Wildes Mannle. A small
madonna figure in bronze is placed here. | You can choose to continue on Rofenkarsteig, over the
ridge a bit and then down the steeper slope to the left.
This path is a little more demanding, with longer parts
secured by wire, but it's nice. | A look up the steep slope of Rofenkarsteig. From here you pass by the glacier, then climb to... |
 |  |  |
Breslauer Hütte at 2844m. The weather is getting worse
now, so we quickly continue up towards Urkundkolm. | The path to Urkundkolm is easier than Wildes Mannle. In
the background, in clouds, is Ötztaler Urkund, 3554m. | Robert at the summit cross. |
