New Bike Friendly Gondola Design Adopted By Austrian Ski Resort

Mark up Austria’s Brandnertal Ski Resort as another happy Doppelmayr customer as they have adopted their modern ropeway bike transport solution. The Bike Cab is simple, secure and comfortable way to transport up 8 bikes simultaneously. No attendant required as loading and unloading is performed by the riders themselves, who attach their bikes to the bike holders in the bottom station and then board the next cabin.

The bikes are carried safely up the mountain and in the top station guests have plenty of time to retrieve their bikes – then it’s off to the downhill thrills. Downhill bikers at the Brandnertal‘s Loischkopfbahn love the new Bike Cab:
