Buying the tickets was easy, fast and comfortable. The tickets came within a minute and all tickets are comfortable and neat above each other as a QR-Code. Three Codes but all together so no switching between different ticket or mails or whatever. Very convenient! Even with stroller everything was comfortable to reach. One bad thing is that other people like to use the cable car highlited for elderly and stroller. Stuff are very friendly and helpful to open the doors and let those pass the gates. Stuff are always joyful. For parents who don't do this often it is good to bring and have drinks ready for the kids if going up or down so they can relieve pressure from the ears. I'm not sure if drinks and food are allowed in the cable cars but in those times the stuff didn't mind and shouldn't. Over all a very nice experience. One small details that wasn't so nice is the price for adults. Maybe it's fair for those who make the price. For me as a customer it seems a bit much. Very big plus on the other hand are the prices for kids!! Perhaps the price for the adult make it even with those of the kids.

The transport was seamless and the views on the ride and st the top were breathtaking. It is like a very mini ski resort. There are also various designs of toboggans available for free which was fun for young and old. We were very disappointed with the zoo. The enclosures for the birds and animals were very small and we found it depressing for that reason.

  • Ever wondered what it feels like to be on top of the world? Why wonder when you can experience it. Book your ticket to the top of Innsbruck. In this experience, you get to reach the top of Innsbruck from the city centre in less than 10minutes. Your cable car has one stop in the middle before reaching the top. You get down at the Alpine Zoo, which is Europe's highest-elevation zoo. Witness the awe-inspiring view with a view with the Karwendel Nature Park on one side and the capital of the Alps on the other side. This zoo is home to more than 100 animal species. For the animal lovers and those not, this will be an experience of a lifetime.

    From the cable car, witness the breathtaking view of the city, wildlife and the ranging mountains all at the same time. Walk up to the summit of Nordkette to experience a view like no other.
