Hochstein
The Hochstein cable car above Lienz lifts hikers and skiers from the Drau valley floor to a mountain plateau at 2,057 meters, with panoramic views that take in both the Dolomites to the south and the Hohe Tauern massif to the north. Lienz sits at the intersection of two alpine worlds, and the Hochstein is where you can see both at once.
