Nordkette and Hafelekar
Innsbruck, Austria
The Nordkette turns Innsbruck’s mountain backdrop into an outing from the city centre. A funicular and two cableways climb through Hungerburg and Seegrube towards Hafelekar, where views extend across the Inn Valley and into the Karwendel. The architecture of the lower stations adds interest before the landscape takes over. In suitable conditions, short walks give different perspectives near the upper stations. Choose a clear day and check operations before committing to the full ascent.
