Innsbruck Funicular

Hungerburgbahn is the Innsbruck funicular that connects the Hungerburg district with the city center (Kongresshaus).

Built in 2004 and inaugurated on December 1, 2007, the Innsbruck funicular actually has a long history, dating back to 1906. For nearly a century, the historic Hungerburgbahn served the Austrian city before being decommissioned and replaced with the current funicular.

The new Innsbruck funicular, technologically advanced and futuristic, has seen the old route almost completely modified, sharing only the last 100 meters of the line. Some remnants and tracks of the old, decommissioned line are still clearly visible today!

The funicular, along with the Seegrubenbahn and Hafelekarbahn cable cars, forms the Nordkettenbahnen, which takes you from the city center to the heart of the mountains (Hafelekar), 2,256 meters above sea level!

STATIONS AND CONNECTIONS

The Hungerburgbahn line is 1,838 meters long, with a total of four stations. The Congress (Altstadt) station, at the bottom, is just six minutes from the Old Town and the Golden Roof. Tram lines A, C, J, K, and M, as well as buses 1, 2, and 540, pass near the funicular.
Nordkettenbahnen guests can park all day (8 a.m.-6 p.m.) for just €4 in the InnenSTADT parking garage. To take advantage of the special parking rate, you must validate your ticket at the Altstadt station ticket office.
ORF-Tirol is one of the two intermediate stations of the funicular, located at Rennweg 12a. From this station to the next one (Alpenzoo), the funicular crosses the Neue Hungerburgbahnbrücke bridge over the Inn River, offering beautiful views of the city.
The Alpenzoo station is located at Weiherburggasse 41 near the zoo of the same name.
Hungerburg is the valley station, located 856 meters above sea level. It is connected to the Seegrubenbahn cable car of the Nordkettenbahn.
The stations of the new funicular are the work of architect Dame Zaha Mohammad Hadid, “Queen of the Curves” as “The Guardian” called her.
