Top of Innsbruck: Roundtrip Cable Car Ticket

1. Top of Innsbruck: Roundtrip Cable Car Ticket

Begin your journey 560 meters above sea level, not far from the heart of Innsbruck's old town with its historical buildings and the world-renowned "Goldenes Dachl" (Golden Roof). Planned and designed by star architect Zaha Hadid, the Hungerburg funicular is a unique architectural achievement. Hop aboard your panoramic cable car and begin your upward ascent. As you rise upwards, admire how the elegant modern design of the stations contrasts with the rugged mountain landscape. Continue along Seegrube and Hafelekar and notice how the picture changes: your attention will now be caught by the painstakingly renovated station building, which was designed by the Tyrolese architect Franz Baumann. Savor the peace and beauty of nature as your ascent continues and the bustle of the city gives way to the tranquillity of the mountain. All that remains is a spectacular view of Innsbruck. By day it seems so far away it looks like a toy city, at night it shimmers like a sea of lights. After reaching the upper station at 2,256 meters above sea level, you can enjoy the breathtaking view of the city of Innsbruck on the one side and the unforgettable vista of untouched, pristine nature on the other. A visit to the Nordkette, set between the mountain range and the town, promises to be an unforgettable experience.

What people are saying about Tyrol

Tandem paragliding Tirol: I absolutely loved it and would do it again! Five stars! I did it in the winter spring transition season but still the temperature on that day was 0 degree C. The top of the mountain was covered fully with ice. I was not aware of the kind of shoes we use for this sort of activities and ended up with a regular running shoes. Peter was kind enough to offer me hiking shoes of my size. He was very good with communication as he has been doing this for more than a decade. It is important to do this with an experienced pilot and I was lucky to choose Peter. The flight experience was surreal and freaking cold. We had a long and perfect flight, however. If you have any doubts you can ask Peter even before making the trip. Enjoy the once in a lifetime experience if you are doing this for the first time! SRK

Very comfortable and on time. Joseph was an amazing guide and made sure to tell us about everything along the way. If you are looking for a relaxing yet fun filled tour, this is it!
