Hut hike in the Lienz Dolomites – 4 days
Level: T2
Period: End June – mid September
The Lienz Dolomites are an alpine mountain range located in East Tyrol and Carinthia, Austria. This hut hike will take you through some of the best parts of this area. The name ‘Lienz Dolomites’ is a mistake, as the mountains do actually not belong to the formation of the Dolomites. However, as these mountains directly border on the Dolomites, this part of the Gailtal Alps is commonly known as Lienz Dolomites.
