FAQ

Can I go straight through the cable car turnstiles with the Welcome Card or do I need to get a lift pass from the ticket office first?

Direct access is possible to all lifts and cable cars included free of charge.

Can I use several lifts and cable cars per day and do the upwards and downwards journeys need to be used on the same day?

It is possible to use several lifts and cable cars per day. The upwards and downwards journeys do not have to be used on the same day, they are valid for the duration of your stay.

How do I know which public transport services I can use for free with the Welcome Card?

All of the routes within the Innsbruck region that are operated by the VVT (Verkehrsverbund Tirol) and the IVB (Innsbrucker Verkehrsbetriebe)*, as well as regional trains operated by the ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways), are included. Travel is not included to the services outside of the Innsbruck region that are added with the upgrade to the Welcome Card unlimited. A detailed list showing all of the included routes, as well as the end points where the Welcome Card no longer works as a bus ticket, can be found here.

 

*Except the hop-on hop-off Sightseer bus and the Hungerburgbahn funicular

Can I get the Welcome Card before my holiday? And can I use the card on my day of arrival and my day of departure?

It is possible to get the Welcome Card before your holiday. To do this, you need to contact your accommodation provider in advance. The card is valid on both your day of arrival and your day of departure. Unless a limited number of uses is specified for a service, the service can be used multiple times. Please take note of the usage restrictions in the detailed descriptions.

How and where do I get the card? Is it also possible to buy the card?

You can get the free Welcome Card directly from your accommodation provider. A list of partner companies can be found here. The Welcome Card is linked to the guest registration process at your accommodation. Innsbruck Tourismus (the Innsbruck Tourist Board) created the "Welcome Card" and the "Welcome Card plus" as a service available to every accommodation provider in the region. It is the accommodation provider's decision whether to offer this service to guests or not and Innsbruck Tourismus cannot require them to do so. With a stay of 3 or more nights at a partner company, you will automatically receive the free Welcome Card plus from your accommodation provider. The Welcome Card and the Welcome Card plus are not available for purchase. The cards cannot be issued at tourist information centres.

Does the Welcome Card unlimited also include the services provided by the Welcome Card / the Welcome Card plus?

The Welcome Card unlimited can be purchased as a paid upgrade. The card can only be purchased by holders of a valid Welcome Card / Welcome Card plus. This means you must have a Welcome Card or a Welcome Card plus in order to buy a Welcome Card unlimited. As a result, you also have access to the services offered by the Welcome Card / Welcome Card plus. Upon purchase of a Welcome Card unlimited, the cards are exchanged. All previously used services are transferred to the Welcome Card unlimited and cannot be used again, with the exception of services that do not have a usage limit. The card can be purchased from tourist information centres or from selected partner companies.
