Top of Innsbruck view into Karwendel Mountains

@rawmeyn
A gondola takes you almost all the way up into the rugged terrain of the mountain peaks gleaming in the golden light of sunset. Complemented by a fresh snowfall and layer of clouds under the summits, you'll be able to capture a blinding white alpine landscape.

How to get there

N47° 18' 46.5264"E11° 23' 09.9996"
This image was taken near Top of Innsbruck, with a north-facing view into the Karwendel Mountains. My model was standing north on one of the nearby peaks to get this perspective. One of the best things about this location is how accessible it is! You can take a train up to Hungerburg directly from Innsbruck city or you can drive and then park in the Parkplatz (47.286729, 11.398397). From Hungerburg, you'll get onto the first gondola, which will take you to Seegrube (a ski resort right above the city; 47.306503, 11.378863). The second gondola will take you up to Hafelekar. From there, you can walk to the GPS coordinates that are near Top of Innsbruck. Expect some tourists there, but that won't distract from the epic views!
