Nordkette - Top of Innsbruck

Take the Innsbruck Nordkettenbahnen cable car from the city center to Austria's largest nature park in just a few minutes! The breathtaking 360° view with the capital of the Alps on one side and the Karwendel Nature Park on the other will leave you with lasting impressions. Climb aboard and enjoy the journey up to the Hafelekar, the TOP OF INNSBRUCK.

Thanks to the modern Hungerburgbahn, you can get directly from the old town to the Hungerburg in just eight minutes, alighting at the Alpenzoo, which is particularly popular with families. Once there, just a few steps lead across Hermann-Buhl-Platz, named after the world-famous Austrian alpinist, to the Seegrubenbahn valley station.
