Embark on an unforgettable journey to the top of the Nordkette mountain range with the Nordkette Cable Car.

The Nordkette Cable Car is a modern marvel of engineering, designed to provide easy access to the Nordkette mountains for both locals and tourists. The journey is divided into two sections: the first takes you from Innsbruck to Hungerburg, where you can enjoy views of the city and the surrounding valley.

Finally, a third section takes you to Hafelekar, the highest point accessible by the cable car, where you'll be rewarded with unparalleled panoramic views. The Nordkette Cable Car offers a variety of activities for tourists. At Hungerburg, you can explore the charming village, enjoy a meal with a view, or take a leisurely stroll. At Seegrube, you can hike along scenic trails, visit the Cloud 9 Igloo Bar (in winter), or simply relax and soak in the alpine atmosphere. At Hafelekar, you can marvel at the breathtaking panoramic views, hike to even higher peaks, or simply enjoy the crisp mountain air. While there are restaurants and cafes at the various stations, the culinary focus is on traditional Austrian fare with a modern twist, often featuring local ingredients.
