About this audio guide
This guide to the Innsbrucker Nordkettenbahnen in Innsbruck follows the money behind the glass-walled funicular station you see today, from the sudden demolition of its century-old predecessor in two thousand five to the construction magnate and cable-car maker who helped finance its Zaha Hadid-designed replacement. You will hear about the local petition against the teardown and the security at the new project's groundbreaking. Best heard while looking up at the swooping glass shell overhead.
