Vacation in Lienz

A charming vacation destination with a Mediterranean flair

A charming small town, flanked by forested mountain ridges and the striking peak formations of the Lienzer Dolomiten. A place with a high quality of life, where “the South begins.” An urban yet nature-filled paradise where the sun loves to shine. Simply put, it’s a small town called Lienz , home to about 12,000 residents. Lienz is cherished and loved by Osttirol residents and vacationers alike. This beautiful little town stands out above all for its Mediterranean-inspired charm. Here, life can still be enjoyed to the fullest; even the locals often feel as if they’re on vacation.

Lienz in the Summer

The town captivates visitors with its Mediterranean flair and unique charm. And although—or perhaps precisely because—Lienz is a small town, there’s plenty to discover: Learn about the town’s history and its historic buildings on a guided tour, and watch the lively hustle and bustle on the main square when the sun draws vacationers and locals alike outdoors. Shopping enthusiasts will also find what they’re looking for in the small boutiques and local shops . Here, personalized customer service and a sense of community based on mutual respect are still the top priorities. Thanks to the excellent infrastructure, the natural gem that is Lake Tristach is easy to reach and serves as a welcome way to cool off in the summer, alongside the Dolomitenbad Lienz .

Lienz in Winter

Snow-covered treetops, frozen lakes, and a wide range of sports activities await you on a winter vacation in the Lienzer Dolomiten. The winter spirit is also alive and well in the old town itself : idyllic Christmas lights hang in the narrow streets, roasted almonds are enjoyed at the Advent market, and sipping mulled wine stirs up the anticipation of Christmas. There’s no shortage of sports activities either: while skiing at Zettersfeld , you can experience winter on the mountain. The experience includes rustic huts, idyllic landscapes, and a prime vantage point to look down on the snow-covered old town.
