A must in Innsbruck

3.00If you are in Innsbruck then you must have done this. In a short time, 3 separate cable cars take you to the top of Innsbruck. Go early because later in the day it gets crowded and only a limited number of people can come at a time. We were unlucky that it was foggy after the 2nd cable car but still enjoyed the earlier view from the cable car. However, it is not cheap.
Worth it for views

4.00Quick line with advance ticket going up great views and cute town Harder to get back down - longer line and packed. To get to top and best views need to do next ride on nordkette

5.00Definitely worth the visit with stunning views from the top of Innsbruck. It was snowing in mid December and families could take part in free sledding activities offered at Seeberger (the penultimate peak) or enjoy the heavy snow at the Hungerburg summit. Ski lifts at Seeberger were closed at this time as the snow was not sufficiently heavy, but check the Nordkette website for live updates on weather conditions.

4.00The ticket is expensive (56€) and long as it includes a train and two funiculars. There's plenty of waiting time if everything goes well. In our case there was a technical problem and we had an hour-long break without anyone giving us any information. Bad organization. Once upstairs the views are amazing. In winter you can not walk much through the snow and ice but it is really worth the views of the city and the mountain range. We climb on a very clear day.
Breakfast does not include ticket to the top

3.00Very expensive for a family. Food is very expensive. View amazing. It is not worth the money to go to Restaurant Seegrube. Food was not so good. The place should need som facelifting. Feels like using the tourists and get so much money as possible. Local guess cannot afford it.
Bit disappointed

3.00Were disappointed, having been told by more than one source , this was included in the Welcome Card, only for ticket people here to say not. As had previously been to the top we only wanted the train ride. Good to experience the hydraulics between carriages. Bit pricey for what it is.
Incredible views at the Top

4.00Decided to go to the top as we found it advertised on line. Great decision. The funicular and cable car were amazing. Walked up to the cross and weren't disappointed by th views. Incredible views over the city and surrounding mountains. Definitely worth a visit
For the geeks worth every penny, and every elbow in the back, great views from the front!

5.00It was really very good, better than expected. Yes it gets very busy, but we waited for the next train so we were right at the front. We didn't get out, so did the round trip. Is clearly a popular tourist ride, I doubt many locals use it, even though that is what it was originally built for (see the original Hungerburg funicular Wikipedia, this new one is faster and carries more passengers per hour). Can imagine it's a nightmare to use to get to and from the Alpine Zoo though. Anyway, we enjoyed it!!
A nightmare.

1.00We paid 48,50€ (combined ticket bahn + zoo) to make 5 minutes journey. Let me explain better: we went down from Hungerburg to the AlpenZoo, we visited the zoo (it took us a couple of hours) and on the way back (without any warning, without anything) we see the turnstiles blocked, flashing, red, and we hear a voice that tells us “FAILURE, GET AWAY FROM THE STATION”, without being given any explanation on how to return to the parking lot where we had put the car. Bottom line? We had to take two buses at 32 degrees in the shade, a total of 1 hour of travel, to make a piece that would take three minutes on the railway. Suspended in the middle of the mountain with a small child. Great Austrian efficiency, congratulations
