Goodnigt, this afternoon I went on a trip to the top of Innsbruck. I had previously purchased my ticket online but I didn't know what it included. I looked for information at a house at the first stop and asked and showed it to a girl with blonde hair if my ticket (digital) included the cable car ride. She said no and so I bought a new one because my goal was to go to the top. In other words, I paid double due to an error in the information provided by the employee. I would like the ticket purchase to be refunded or cancelled. I am attaching the tickets and receipts for the same date and similar times. I appreciate your attention. Sérgio Ricardo Christofoletti

The time you have to enjoy the experience is flexible. Upon my arrival accessing the attraction was easy. You just have to scan the QR code to access the tram to the top of the mountain. The ride up and down was very smooth and the tram comes often so you can go up or down easily. I suggest enjoy a nice meal at the restaurant at the very top. They have a nice menu of traditional foods and great beverage offerings.

On Saturday 24.5. 25 the access to the congress parking garage was very limited due to an event / city run. Therefore other parking garage chosen - no reduction of the parking fee. In addition, the access to the Cityparkgarage is not clearly recognizable for those unfamiliar with the area One-way regulation Ticket price is too high

The time you have to enjoy the experience is flexible. Upon my arrival accessing the attraction was easy. You just have to scan the QR code to access the tram to the top of the mountain. The ride up and down was very smooth and the tram comes often so you can go up or down easily. I suggest enjoy a nice meal at the restaurant at the very top. They have a nice menu of traditional foods and great beverage offerings.

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).

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.

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.

View from top of Innsbruck. Animals in Alpine zoo were well kept. No noticable stress behaviour, except in few bird species kept in smaller "ecological boxes" cases.
