The explanation of the activity is very clear for a tourist . Parking for €4 in congress building (show ticket and pay immediately at entrance nordkette) . Pay attention if you have a roof box. Up to 2.10 ! With us it was only just possible. We had combi ticket Alpenzoo / hungerburg. Once we had done that we wanted to go higher and at the last station we bought extra tickets to go to the top. Tip: watch the weather / clouds. For us at the top it was too cold / too wet and no visibility through clouds. 1 station lower n beautiful walk among the mountain goats and delicious lunch . Alpenzoo was fun to visit . Successful day (pricey).

The valley station of the Hungerburgbahn was poorly signposted. However, the ride on the cable car was very nice. We visited the zoo, which is really worth a visit

We didn't feel the need to go all the way up so this was a super simple, streamlined experience to see both the zoo and have lunch with a view.

Your experience

Ride the rails to the heart of the Alps

The stations of the Hungerburg funicular, designed and planned by star architect Zaha Hadid, have become some of Innsbruck’s most famous landmarks, representing the state-of-the-art architecture in the heart of the Alps. Closely resembling Alpine glacier formations, the 4 stations of the Hungerburg funicular are worldwide unique in style. In as little as 8 minutes you can travel from the city center to Hungerburg, where you will enjoy a breathtaking view over the city of Innsbruck. Nostalgia – the cable car museum right inside the bottom station of the Seegruben cable car takes you on a ride through the history of the Nordkettenbahnen. The “Theresa Church” is only a few steps away from the observation deck.
