3.5 km and 1,000 m elevation gain - how fast can you do it?
Via Innsbruck's steepest staircase, the cable car platform leads from the Hungerburg on the most direct route to the Seegrube. Once at the top, the fantastic view of the city rewards your burning calves. You can take the cable car back down again without any effort.
For all trail runners, altitude junkies and cable car platform enthusiasts, there is a fixed timekeeping system via the cable car platform since this summer.
The timekeeping runs via the meinBerglauf.at app and is marked by a start and finish station. With the meinBerglauf app, you decide for yourself when you run a route. Start the app, check in at the start station, run the course and enjoy the well-deserved cheers from the app at the finish station - it's that easy.The start station is located above the parking lot of the Innsbruck Nordkettenbahnen at the beginning of the Kreuzbründlweg. Follow this path into the forest, keeping to the right, until you reach the Seegrubenbahn lift route. Now follow the signposted cable car platform, which leads vertically over roots and stairs under the cable car to the Seegrube.
At the height of the 3-seater support/valley chairlift station, the forest thins out and the trail continues across the meadows, crossing the forest road again and again, until it turns left at bend 8 (at approx. km 2.8), heading west across the "eastern slope". There it goes past the platforms of the Nordkette Perspective Trail up to the Seegrube. Once at the top, leave the entrance to the terrace and the stone pine hill on the right and walk the last few meters flat along the fence.
The finish station is located at the gate in front of the station building by the playground. A unique view and refreshing drinks on Innsbruck's highest sun terrace will reward your burning calves!
