Nordkette lies on the southernmost range of the Austrian Karwendel Alps at 2,269 m above sea level. We were lucky that we made it to the top before it started snowing. I would advise you to check the webcam and weather forecast before coming, as clouds can completely obscure the view.
Top of Innsbruck
The cable car from Seegrube to Hafelekar took 5 minutes. We reached the Top of Innsbruck at the height of 2,334 m within 30 minutes.
Hungerburg is a little town at the foot of Nordkette. We stopped at the viewing terrace in Hungerburg for some photos and proceeded straight to the cable car.
Hungerburg Station
The journey to the Top of Innsbruck starts at the Altstadt Station in the Old Town. We took the Hungerburgbahn funicular to Hungerburg. From there, it was a short walk to the Seegrubenbahn station, where we boarded the cable car to Seegrube. We then transferred to the Hafelekarbahn cable car for the final ascent to Hafelekar, also known as the "Top of Innsbruck".
