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).

Easy getting the tickets, however some of the ticket reader had difficulty reading our phone ticket. More information on hikes at the top or a pathway to find information on the hikes would have been most hopefull to make planning easier.

Really good to be early and ahead of the crowds. The views were amazing and the the combined experience of funicular and cable car was brilliant. The only downside of catching the first funicular at 8am was waiting for each cable car's start time.
