From the Doppelmayr Worldbook, it sounded like it takes cars from the factory to a storage parking lot for shipping. I think it goes over a highway, some smaller roads, and railroad tracks. I can't imagine how it is more economical than a bridge though.

What a remarkable instalation!!! Dopplemayr (Austria) really does a fantastic job putting together a ropeway to fit the customers needs. If only their American counterpart could attain such levels of achievment.

I'd say Whistler is getting a pretty incredible lift, but that may not count since it is being shipped in from Austria.

That is cool. The drivers must have a time crunch to get the car off the platform before the next one comes in. Better not stall. 
That must have quite the spacer if it leaves the carrier stopped until it's unloaded. That also answered my question that Dopp's funitels are DLM not DMC. Great peice of engineering.
