Hungerburgbahn Station

Hungerburgbahn Station is a funicular terminal in Innsbruck that connects the city center with the higher Hungerburg district. The modern architecture with curved glass surfaces defines the base of the line, which rises continuously upward.

The first funicular opened in 1906, connecting the valley with the mountain area for many decades. After closing in 2005, a new structure was built and began operating in 2007.

The station links the city with mountain life and shows how locals move between two worlds. Visitors see daily how people commute between work in the city and leisure in the Alps.

Visitors can board the modern funicular here and should take time to explore the curved spaces and views. It is wise to arrive early in the day, especially when the weather is clear and mountain views are impressive.

The carriages are specially designed and tilt during the journey to keep passengers in a level position despite the steep gradient. This provides comfort and is an often-overlooked technical solution that makes the ride pleasant.
