Two in one: one ski area in Lienz attracts families, the other sporty carvers and boarders.
More than 2,000 hours of sunshine a year - that's what makes Lienz in East Tyrol so special. Not only for holidaymakers strolling through the quaint alleyways, but also for winter sports enthusiasts enjoying the slopes of the two small ski areas high above the rooftops of the town.
The south-facing Zettersfeld ski area is particularly sun-kissed, with slopes that are almost entirely suitable for families and where the young snowboarder and freerider scene can let off steam in the Sunsite Park. At an altitude of up to 2,278 meters, you can enjoy a fantastic view over the Dolomites. Parents can meet for a drink on the terraces of the inns and the joyful cries of the youngsters on the slopes can be heard from the ski kindergarten. There is also a ski route away from the slopes.
The atmosphere in the Hochstein ski area on the south-western edge of Lienz is completely different: where the World Cup route leads down to the edge of the town, things are much more sporty. Lienz's local mountain is divided into three sections of piste, which - taken in one go - result in one of the longest runs in Tyrol, with a difference in altitude of more than 1,300 meters. At the top, you shouldn't miss the wonderful panoramic view from the Hochsteinhütte, which is a good 2,000 meters above the mountain station. A single ski pass is valid in both ski areas.
