Staying in Hungerburg above Innsbruck
A Hungerburg booking needs a little more planning around the first and last journey of the day. Check how far your room lies from the funicular station and whether the approach includes a steep lane. If you expect to eat in the center, decide how you will return before heading down, since mountain transport does not necessarily run into the evening.
