About us
At the foot of the Nordkette, above the rooftops of Innsbruck, the capital of Tyrol, lies the Alpine Zoo at an altitude of 750 m. On just over 5 hectares, around 2,000 Alpine animals from about 150 species are kept in enclosures, terrariums and aquariums designed to resemble their natural habitats. No other zoo in the world presents such a complete collection of wildlife from the Alpine region. This is just one reason why the zoo has achieved a number of world-first breedings and remarkable breeding successes.
