Our animals
As a so-called “themed zoo”, the Alpenzoo reveals the world’s largest collection of animals from the Alpine region. These are mainly vertebrates, approx. 20 of the 80 mammal species, 60 of the approx. 200 alpine bird species, 11 of the 15 alpine reptile species, 6 of the 21 alpine amphibian species and almost all fish species in the Alps. The Alpenzoo is home to a total of approx. 2000 individuals from the animal kingdom.

About us
At the foot of the “Nordkette” mountain range, above the rooftops of Innsbruck, the Alpenzoo is located in the capital of Tyrol, 750 metres above sea level. Roughly 2000 Alpine animals across approximately 150 species are kept in natural enclosures, terrariums and aquariums on just over 10 hectares (although only 5 hectares have been developed up to now; the zoo was expanded in 2022). No other zoo in the world has such a complete collection of wild animals from the Alpine region. This is just one reason why a number of world firsts and remarkable breeding successes have been achieved here.
