However as one part of the massif borders on the Dolomites, these mountains are commonly known as the Lienz Dolomites. In the centre lies the historically significant town of Lienz. The two highest peaks , the "Große Sandspitze" (2,770 m) and the "Spitzkofel" (2,717 m) rise up just south of the town and form an impressive backdrop. The holiday villages in this region are especially popular with families, due to their cosiness. Some natural monuments of the romantic Eastern Tyrol mountains can be discovered here, on one of the many winter hiking trails in this region. The ski areas attract the visitors with well-prepared and diverse pistes to explore, as well as breathtaking panorama views. Diverse leisure time activities promise an unforgettable winter holiday in the mountains!
