Hungerburgbahn

Innsbruck's Alpine Zoo is unique worldwide in its function as an Alpine theme-zoo. Observe several species of animals that can only be found within the alp region. It is extremely family friendly but also offers a great variety of activities for grown ups. It is situated on the sunny side of the Inn valley, directly at the foot of the Nordkette and high above Innsbruck's rooftops. With the combi-ticket Alpine Zoo, the zoo is comfortably reachable from the city center. It is only a few minutes directly from the Altstadt Station to the Alpine Zoo station with the Hungerburg funicular. From there the entrance of the Alpine Zoo is only a few meters away. Your combi-ticket Alpine Zoo includes a round trip with the Hungerburg funicular and the entrance to the Alpine Zoo.

Our meeting point, between the Congress and Hofgarten, is right in the historic heart of Innsbruck. We start our hike at 10:00 a.m. and quickly leave the bustling city center behind us. We walk along the Inn to the Hans-Psenner-Steg. We cross the Inn over this bridge and ascend towards the Alpenzoo. Above Innsbruck, our path leads us to the district of Mühlau, from where we enter the gorge. We climb higher and higher along the roaring mountain stream, past countless small waterfalls and unusual rock structures. After leaving the gorge, the paths become wider again and we continue on our way to the idyllically situated Arzler Alm. Here we have reached our "high point" and after a break we return to civilization. Slightly descending, we roam the forests above the Hungerburg until we reach our drop-off location at the Hungerburg. From there, the city center is easy to reach by train or bus.
