Lienz Dolomites - Mountain Climbs

There are many well located mountain huts providing accommodation for tourists. Some five hours climb southwards from Lienz is the Kerschbaumeralm-Schutzhaus (1,902m/6,240ft; inn in summer), from which the Spitzkofel can be climbed (3.5 hours; not difficult for experienced climbers). To the east lies the Karlsbader Hütte (2,260m/7,415ft; inn in summer), in a mighty rock cirque containing two lakes; from here it is an easy one hour's climb to the Laserzwand, with impressive views down into the valleys.
