2 Cable Car Stations to Explore in Tyrol

The Nordkette Cable Car in the Austrian state of Tyrol is a gondola lift from Innsbruck to the Nordkette, the southernmost mountain chain of the Karwendel. It runs in two sections from the Innsbruck quarter of Hungerburg via Seegrube Station to the top station, Hafelekar. The cableway is the heart of the Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen ski area.The view from the summit offers stunning panoramic views of Innsbruck, on the one hand and the natural Park Karwendel on the other.

This cable car leads from the village of Igls up onto the Patscherkofel mountain to the south of Innsbruck, a popular destination for hikers, mountainbikers and those who simply want to enjoy fantastic views of the surrounding landscape. It was built in 1928 as an aerial tramway and replaced in 2017 by a monocable gondola with a slightly different route.
