Starting from the city center, transport yourself to the Seegrube Station at 1,905 meters above sea level in just 20 minutes. The panoramic views of Innsbruck and the surrounding peaks are unparalleled, with opportunities for hiking, skiing, or simply soaking in the alpine air. Here's a link to the Nordkette Cable Car's location.
