Café 3440: Austria’s Highest Kaffeehaus

Café 3440 pictured from the outside

For this week's #AustrianExplorer we are headed to Tyrol for Austria's highest Kaffeehaus, Café 3440. The aptly named coffee shop is perched 3440 meters (about 11,286 ft) above sea level and offers stunning views of the Ötztal Alps and the Pitztal valley below. The journey to Café 3340 takes about 20 mins from the valley with the Gletscherexpress funicular (the world's fastest funicular) and the Wildspitzbahn gondola (Austria's highest gondola). That's a lot of superlatives you can check off your bucket list while enjoying a cup of coffee and breathtaking view! #Tirol #Pitztal #Cafe3340
