Cable car down to Seegrube

We took the cable down to Seegrube.

Top of Innsbruck

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.

Hafelekarbahn

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.

Seegrubenbahn

The cable car ride from Hungerburg to Seegrube is also 8 minutes.

Hungerburg

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

Hungerburgbahn

The funicular took us to Hungerburg from the Old Town in just 8 minutes.

Nordkette

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".
