Hafelekar Tour: A Journey into Alpine Science and Stunning Views

Join us for a scenic after-conference tour in Innsbruck! We will meet in the city center and take the cable car up to Hafelekar, situated at an elevation of 2,334 meters. Once at the top, we’ll visit the historical Hafelekar research station, where groundbreaking scientific history was made.

In 1931, Professor Victor Franz Hess (1883–1964) founded the world's first high-altitude laboratory here, dedicated to the study of cosmic rays. Innsbruck, with its university and the Nordkette cable car, provided the perfect conditions for this pioneering scientific work.

This tour offers a unique opportunity to explore both the stunning Alpine landscape and a site of scientific significance, with breathtaking views from the mountain peaks. As we enter an alpine environment, please bring good shoes, appropriate and warm clothing, and wind and rain protection, depending on the weather
