In the summer months, 3,500 traveling furry residents come to visit when farmers from South Tyrol's Val Senales/Schnalstal drive their sheep to the Alpine pastures above Vent. The village was first mentioned in a document as early as 1241 under the name "Vende". That was 780 years ago! Since 2008, Vent has been allowed to officially call itself a mountaineering village.
