Austria<br />

According to the BMVIT (nd), Austria has around 3,063 cableways, of which 1,079<br />

are cable cars while the remaining 1,984 are drag lifts. In 2010, 27 new cable car<br />

installations (i.e. excluding new drag lifts the number of which is not known) were<br />

constructed in Austria and this is said to be around the annual average of recent years<br />

(BMVIT, 2011). Table 2.7 sets out the types of cableways which were actually<br />

installed.<br />
