Day 2 Innsbruck and the Nordkettenbahn Today we visit the Tyrolean capital city of Innsbruck, surrounded by the jagged rock spires of the Nordkette mountain range. We enjoy free time here to discover some of the most important sights, including the Hofgarten, the ornate 15th century Golden Roof designed as a royal box for the Emperor, the Column of Saint Anne and the Triumphal Arch. In the afternoon, we board the Nordkettenbahn to ascend to the summit of the Nordkette mountain range to enjoy the views while sipping a unique Cloud 9 cocktail.

We may choose to embark on a scenic cable car ride up the mountain or take the bus for a 10 minute trip back to Innsbruck to further explore the Tyrolean capital.
