Doppelmayr Zoo, Zoo in Wolfurt
Doppelmayr Zoo is a small facility in Wolfurt located behind office buildings of a local company, welcoming visitors since 1963. Across roughly 20,000 square meters, over 400 animals from about 70 different species live in open areas and enclosures.
The zoo was founded in 1963, reflecting the Doppelmayr company's commitment to sharing nature and animals with the local community. Over the years it has expanded and improved while maintaining its simple and personal character.
The zoo takes its name from the Doppelmayr company, which founded it and is known for building cable cars and lifts. Visitors experience a gathering place where local families come together to see animals up close and learn about different species.
The zoo is open year-round and easily accessible by car or on foot, with parking nearby at the sports field or on company lots outside working hours. Well-maintained paths make it easy to walk with a stroller, and a small shop offers drinks and snacks for a break.
The zoo comes alive especially in spring when many baby animals are born, including piglets, young goats, and bird chicks like peacocks and ducks. Many visitors describe a walk through the zoo as relaxing and call it a welcome escape from busy city life.
