Alpenzoo Innsbruck : info and guided tour

Introduction to Alpenzoo Innsbruck

Alpenzoo Innsbruck is Innsbruck’s zoo dedicated to the fauna of the Alps. Located on the heights above the city, at Weiherburggasse 37a, it brings together mountain species in a setting that evokes their natural habitat. The site is appreciated for its educational approach and for the view it offers over the Inn Valley.

The park is known for its rare specialization: it features only animals linked to the Alpine arc, making it a different visit from a classic zoo. Visitors can see ibexes, chamois, marmots, bears, and birds of prey, among others, in enclosures designed to show the diversity of Alpine habitats, from rocky terrain to wetlands.

Alpenzoo Innsbruck holds an important place in the local cultural landscape, as it highlights the relationship between the city and the mountains. Its appeal lies both in its animal collection and in the way it raises awareness of Alpine biodiversity. The emblematic animals and the panoramic views over Innsbruck are among the most memorable elements of the visit.
