We did the journey in different transport modes starting with a bus trip in the hop-in and hop-off to the Congress station where the modern funicular Hungerbergbahn took us to Hungerberg. During this spectacular funicular ride we saw the beautiful country side and continuously unfolding skyline finally reaching the Hungerberg cable car station. From this point Seegrubenbahn Cable rail took us over the mountain ridges to the Seegrube station which was about 1905m high from sea level. After exploring the environs, we changed over to Hafelekarbahn Cable rail to reach top of Innsbruck at 2334m high. Thus, cable car journey was in two stages first was to Seegrube and next was to Hafelekar. The return too was through the same services and it was a fantastic experience and we extremely enjoyed the views.
The ride up was convenient and fun. At each stop you got a different perspective of the city and mountains. The views from the top were spectacular. And the climate transition from the city was significant with skiers and snow covered mountain tops.
Beautiful views. It feels like you have been transported to another world. I highly recommend this attraction during your visit to Innsbruck.
Excellent service, regular cable cars which were clean and well run. Incredible views from the top. You must do this if you’re in Innsbruck! Make sure you find the cafe at the top of innsbruck stop - upstairs from where you get on and off the cable car and not immediately obvious. We had wonderful hot chocolate here after a bracing climb to the top in several feet of snow! The geotrail was not accessible at this time of year due to the snow! We then returned down to seebrugge restaurant for a fab lunch out on the terrace snuggled in blankets they provide. Again quick, excellent service and amazing lunch with a view! Music from cloud9 bar provides atmosphere while you watch the skiers and soak up the view!
We booked it last minute. No regret at all. Very easy to get through all these. There is a funicular from the city centre that goes up to the Alpen-zoo, then with the same ticket hop on to a set of two cable car journeys. Brilliant view from the very top. There is a restaurant that provide a selection of hot food and drinks. Can pay with cash or card. Free WiFi too!! Perfect for photo posting!
