Austria · CABLE CARS & FUNICULARS
Every trip has one free day too few. These 7 cable car & funicular tickets justify the slot, priced and timed so you can decide in minutes and get back to the fun part.
Take the Hungerburg funicular and two cable cars from Innsbruck’s old town to Top of Innsbruck at 2,256 meters. Stop at Hungerburg and Seegrube for mountain views, food, walks, and snow. Your ticket is valid for one day, with cars running about every 15 minutes. Weather matters, so plan some flexibility.
“An unforgettable experience with amazing views from the top. Highly recommend.”
Ride the Hungerburg funicular from Innsbruck’s Altstadt to the Alpine Zoo, then explore a hillside collection of more than 2,000 Alpine animals from 150 species. The $27 combi-ticket includes your return funicular ride and zoo entry for one day. Allow time for uphill paths, mountain views, and a close look at Innsbruck’s striking funicular stations.
“Great collection of animals and glad to see a new and apparently larger wolf enclosure”
Take a mobile-ticket, round-trip ride from Innsbruck city center toward Nordkette, changing through the Hungerburg Funicular, Seegrube, and Hafelekarspitze. Enjoy about 20 minutes of mountain views, stop for food or a drink, walk the viewpoints, and return at your own pace. Check conditions before booking, since the upper station can close.
“Got there there too late to go to the top. Some advice about the latest time to be there in time would have been good by Viator. The part we did see was amazing though.”
Take the Hungerburgbahn funicular from Innsbruck Station Altstadt to Alpenzoo, then explore more than 2,000 alpine animals in hillside enclosures. You get round-trip transport and zoo admission without a guide. Allow about two hours, wear good walking shoes, and redeem your ticket only at Station Congress, not at the zoo.
“Actually pretty nice zoo with interesting animals. You can walk in with the birds. Great afternoon with a view”
Take the Hungerburg funicular from Station Congress near Innsbruck’s old town to Hungerburg in about 8 minutes. Admire Zaha Hadid’s striking stations, stop at the Alpine Zoo if you wish, and enjoy the panorama platform at the top. This $15 round trip is valid for one day, with cable cars to Seegrube and Hafelekar sold separately.
“This is already fully included with the Innsbruck city care. DO NOT PURCHASE just this. Best to purchase the full Cable Car tkt or the city card. Both are better value for money. Otherwise the funicular ride itself is quite nice”
Meet your private guide at Taubenbrunnen and explore Schlossberg by funicular and on foot. You’ll see the Uhrturm, Hackher Lion, Dom im Berg, Kepler Lime Tree, and Turkish Well, with local snacks, a drink, picnic basket, photo tips, and time to enjoy Graz from above.
“Had a great time just walking around, there is a huge big park area to explore. The December sun was unseasonally warm sat and had a nice por of tea in one of the cafés where we just enjoyed the view and the sun.”
Meet your English-speaking host at Schlossbergplatz, ride or explore Schlossberg, then enjoy a picnic basket filled with local vegetarian or vegan food and prosecco or a soft drink. Your guide shows you scenic picnic and photo spots, shares stories of the hill, and helps you make the most of Graz’s views. Museums and monuments cost extra.
Pick a palace, a mountain or a concert hall.
