Why visit Nordkette?
Innsbruck is the fifth-largest city in Austria and is known for its beauty. The charming streets, with the snowy Alps looming over them, make for quite the picture. The Nordkette offers visitors an array of experiences that cannot be replicated or found elsewhere. Be it the Nordkette skiing & snowboarding experience, visiting one of Europe's highest zoos at Alpine Zoo (Alpen Zoo), or even enjoying a warm beverage atop the top of Innsbruck at Cloud 9, guests can look forward to experiencing the enchanting Alpine beauty in a host of different ways.
Designed by renowned architect Zaha Hadid, the Hungerberg funicular stations must be seen to be believed! The sleek, modern design complements the surrounding region, and the funicular transports you close to the cable car stations in eight minutes. The Nordkette Cable Car is perhaps the most famous of these experiences, where one can travel from the base to the top while admiring the powdery white snow under them. As you reach Seegrube station, you will be able to see the raw power of nature as you are surrounded by the rocky Karwendel.
