The tickets worked perfectly and the whole process was very smooth. The cable car and funicular were very fun! And the views at the top are exceptional! Definitely worth a visit!

Fantastic experience! Be sure to hike up to the tiptop after the third cable car (if physically able), because the views are phenomenal!! I didn't have time to enjoy any of the restaurants and such, but would have loved to do so.

Tickets were easy to purchase online. We did the Happy Hour (early). All components of our trip to Hafekelar and back were great. Be prepared to scan your ticket at each station in both directions. We did the 8 mile hike to Pfeishutte and back, which was great with varied terrain. Loved seeing sheep and cows grazing. Did not see any ibex, but saw a lot of their pellets.

It was really well organised, even though the directions from ticket office and instructions were a little unclear. But the views are fabulous and so worth it. Love.

The online ticket can be used immediately at the gate, which is very nice. The view on the top is amazing and beautiful.

Your experience

This is your chance to experience the beautiful city of Innsbruck from the 2,300m-high "Hafelekar." From here, you’ll get to absorb the unique panorama of the country and its surroundings. Your journey starts at the heart of Innsbruck's old town with the unique Nordkette Funicular. Within just 30 minutes travel from the city to the Top of Innsbruck with the funicular and two panorama gondolas. Admire the elegant contrast between modern stations of the Nordkette funicular and the rugged mountainous landscape. As the bustle of the city gives way to the tranquility of the mountains, you’ll find yourself surrounded by the untouched, pristine vistas of Tyrol!

For an elevated experience above Innsbruck's cityscape, consider the optional upgrade to journey from the city center to the Seegrube. Perched high above the rooftops, the Restaurant Seegrube offers a delectable selection of traditional Tyrolean cuisine, accompanied by awe-inspiring vistas of the city below. You can also upgrade and opt-in for access to the Alpine Zoo. Finally, choose to save some money by selecting the happy hour tickets which give you a 20% discount if you enter before 9:30am or after 3:30pm.
