We had my son's birthday breakfast here while on vacation. I thought "what a better breakfast than…read moreon top of the alps?" No reservations so we showed right at 9:15. They weren't ready so we headed to the very top on the gondola and then back down to seegrube. At that point they were ready to seat. Now, I had no idea what we were getting us into - so when I found out is was price fixed with champagne I was waiting to get hit with a big bill. Only €62 for all 4 of us! We got champagne, orange juice, coffee, assorted meats and cheeses (including salmon), fruit, yogurt, granola, breads, pastries, and eggs scrambled or soft boiled. It was THE BEST breakfast of the trip, to the point that I'll overlook them not being ready at opening and still give them 5 stars :). Mountains and delicious food? Perfect.

Horrible service, ok food!…read more Let me state at the beginning that the views from this place are just amazing! However that doesn't discount the poor service we got. We were here today for lunch and they only have two servers for the entire place, absolutely understaffed, they probably need 3-4 servers, given how popular this place is. You can make up for understaffing by being attentive, but in our case, the service was just terrible. Our soup order came after 15-20 mins, which is somewhat late, but tolerable. However, they really screwed up our lunch order, with no food delivered after waiting 40 minutes! And finally they apologized that the order wasn't placed! We ended up waiting additional 15 mins for our entree. In future, I would only stick to placing appetizer orders and drinks here and recommend others do the same; unless you are fine with waiting inordinate amount of time for receiving your order.

One of the only reasons I stopped in Innsbruck was to take the tram to the top of the Alps. For…read moreyears I've heard how beautiful Innsbruck is and that it's a must stop when in Austria. I arrived on a Sunday. Little did I know, everything's closed on Sundays. After checking into the hotel, my husband and I walked straight over to the cable car only to see that it was closed for maintenance. The Innsbruck cable car takes you from the city center to the top of the Nordkette mountain for spectacular views. Since it was closed, there was no one to ask if there were other ways up...it was a bit of a let down, so we just walked back to town and had lunch.

We went to the top of Innsbruck and ate at the restaurant one stop below. The cable cars feel super safe and the trip up and down feels super quick.

Be warned, there are quite a number of stairs to climb and no elevator, but it is not too onerous, and if you have a Fitbit, it will help your stair count considerably! My wife, two daughters (8 and 10), handled the stairs without a problem. When we arrived at the top, we found very nice views of the city and met a number of nice people willing to take pictures of us. It is a bit cramped up at the top, so people need to be friendly and patient with one another. The entire visit does not take very long, so it is a nice thing to do just to get one's bearing on the town and its surroundings. Definitely worth doing.

They also have a gift shop and a restaurant. Awesome experience in Innsbruck. Highly recommend adding it to your list whilst in town.

The entry price gives you access to walk around inside the ski jump area, which has various boards describing the history of the jump, how features work during competition, and prominent athletes. You can either walk up the stairs to get to the top of the jump, or alternatively there is an accessible cable-driven platform which runs to the top (from which there is then stairs or an internal lift to get up to the lookout or restaurant area). There are great views of the city from the top. The restaurant also serves food and beverages at a reasonable price and quality. Recommend walking down the stairs after your visit to experience the atmosphere of different aspects at this sporting facility. Worth a visit!
