Top of Innsbruck PLUS Experience

The Top of Innsbruck PLUS ticket combines two of the city's most popular attractions into one fantastic day out. You'll ride the Nordkettenbahnen cable car to the summit of Hafelekarspitze at 2,300 metres and explore Europe's highest zoo, the Alpenzoo Innsbruck. This combination ticket offers exceptional value for families and nature enthusiasts who want to see Innsbruck from above and below.

Your adventure starts at Congress station, where the cable car whisks you 2,300 metres up to Hafelekarspitze in just 20 minutes. The panoramic views of Innsbruck and the surrounding Alps are spectacular, making this one of the best ways to appreciate the city's dramatic alpine setting. At the summit, you'll find walking trails and plenty of photo opportunities across the mountain landscape.

The Alpine Zoo sits on the slopes beneath the Nordkette and houses over 2,000 animals from 150 species native to the Alps. You'll see brown bears, lynx, golden eagles, and alpine ibex in carefully designed enclosures that mirror their natural habitats. The zoo focuses on conservation of alpine wildlife, making your visit both entertaining and educational.

What is Included

  • Roundtrip cable car ride on the Nordkettenbahnen to Hafelekarspitze summit
  • Entry to Alpenzoo Innsbruck
  • Access to walking trails at the summit

Good to Know

Most visitors spend around half a day enjoying both attractions, though you can explore at your own pace. The cable car departs from Congress station, and both the cable car and zoo are wheelchair accessible. Mobile tickets are accepted for entry, so there's no need to print anything.

Food and drinks are not included with your ticket, so plan to bring your own refreshments or purchase them on site if available. The first cable car departs early morning, with the last descent in the late afternoon, giving you plenty of time for a relaxed visit.

If you're planning to explore more of Innsbruck's attractions, consider combining your visit with an Innsbruck city walking tour to discover the historic Old Town, or venture further afield with a day trip to Salzburg to make the most of your time in Austria.
