Nordkette/Innsbruck

Nordkette is the urban ski resort that offers a fantastic skiing experience with its telling slogan: "Top of Innsbruck." Located at an altitude of over 6561,7 feet, Nordkette is perfect for those who want to ski with magnificent views of Innsbruck. The journey up starts with the Nordkettebahn, a miniature train that takes you a bit up the mountain, followed by a classic cable car.

With six lifts and nine slopes, Nordkette offers a drop of almost 4593,2 feet, which gives you the opportunity to ski from the top at Hafelkar (7401,6 feet a.s.l.) down to Hungerburg (2821,5 feet). While the number of lifts and slopes isn't the greatest, there are plenty of opportunities for both advanced off-piste skiing and family-friendly options, including a children's area and a park. With its impressive views and variety of skiing, Nordkette is a must-see for skiers in Innsbruck.
