See animals that are or were native to our region up close, learn more about their way of life, and all this in an incredibly beautiful environment. Highly recommended!

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

The funicular ride is simply an experience you cannot miss out on when in the bustling city of Innsbruck. The Hungerburg funicular is a famous landmark in the city today, thanks to its state-of-the-art architecture. The 4 stations of the Hungerburg funicular are unique in style. In as little as 8 minutes, zoom from the city center to Hungerburg, where views over the city of Innsbruck will stun you. This ticket lets you ride all the way to the Hungerburg station, and back.

Lucky for you, that’s not all: you also get to visit the ever-wondrous Alpine Zoo! Located on the sunny slopes of the Hungerburg plateau, this zoo is a unique wildlife sanctuary devoted to protecting native Tyrolean wildlife. It is home to more than 2,000 animals ranging across 150 different Alpine species. Walk along a network of enclosed walkways that reveal animals like brown bears, ibex, wolves, and golden eagles. The freshwater aquarium is loaded with Alpine fish and the aviaries house over 60 different species of birds. Enjoy a show farm that boasts of sheep, goats, and Turopolje pigs (certainly enjoyable by the younglings!)
