Between Alpine Panorama & Sunshine
The majestic Großglockner, the sunny Southern Alps, and the charming town of Lienz combine to create a destination unlike any other. Nestled in the Southern Alps, Lienz is Austria’s sunniest town, blessed with Italian-style weather that can be enjoyed both in summer and winter. Breathtaking nature, more than 2,000 hours of sunshine each year, and a touch of Mediterranean lifestyle make this region a truly special place in the heart of the Alps. Whether hiking, biking, skiing, or simply relaxing—you’ll find countless opportunities for unforgettable moments in every season.
And sometimes, the most beautiful thing is simply staying at home: feeling the sun on the spacious south-facing terrace, unwinding in the wellness area or by the pool, and enjoying the garden.
