Access & on-site parking
Access to the Defereggental is from the north via Mittersill and the Felbertauern Tunnel, and from the south via Lienz. Surrounded by many three-thousand-meter peaks, the Defereggental with its three villages St. Jakob, St. Veit, and Hopfgarten stretches from 1,100 m to 1,500 m in altitude. In winter, the valley ends here and there is no further passage. In summer, you can drive over the Staller Sattel (2,055 m) all the way to Italy. Free parking is available directly at the gondola lift. Winter Closure
The Staller Sattel is closed in winter.
