From the centre of Innsbruck, a combination of funicular and two cable cars takes you high above the city. * |

The views were spectacular. * |
 |
|
Some people walked from the cable car terminus to the mountain summit. We were happy to watch them. † |

Flowers in a crack in the rocks. † |

The view back down to Innsbruck. † |
 |
|
Halfway down, between the two cable car sections, was a restaurant with a large flat area where people were assembling their hang-gliders. * |

|
We also took a tram to the suburb of Wilton, where there was this magnificently understated church. * |
 |
|
Nearby was this churchyard, appropriately dominated by a ski-jump constructed for the Winter Olympics. * |
 |
|
Wilton also has one of the few remaining working bell foundries, which also has a very interesting museum about bells with this display of historic bells. * |
