I recommend it as a ‘must do activity’ when you visit Innsbruck. We really enjoyed it. The views are amazing. Purchasing an Innsbruck card is a good idea if you plan to visit the Patscherkofelbahnen as this is free with Innsbruck card and covers major portion of card cost. Buses, funicular, cable cars (up to 7 rides), Zoo were all... More

If you are visiting in summer, don't bother with this one as the resort was clearly "closed" for summer. It cost us 36 euros (2 adults and 2 small children under 6) and we timed it wrongly so we had to wait for the staff to finish their 45-minute lunch break (from 12 pm to 12.45 pm the cable car...

Instead, he barked at me in German without making any effort to slow down and explain it clearly to me. Like look, I am clearly a tourist... More

The Patscherkofalbahn runs every 10-15 mins and although is smooth and efficient, it is outdated. There is a mid-station on the cable car, not that you are able to get out, it is just to transfer carriages for the remainder of the journey to the top.

A great mountain to ski on if you are a beginner or intermediate. Teh Olympic run is very challenging

Great way to get a beautiful view of the Innsbruck valley and the surrounding mountains with a cozy restaurant at the top. Of course, it's best if you're skiing, but still worth the cost of the up/down ticket for the view and a nice lunch
