After the relevant chairlifts had been constructed, the two companies ceased to cooperate (Bergbahnen, nd). Table 2.21 provides examples of companies that are no longer active in the cableways sector. This table provides further evidence of the process of consolidation in the cableways sector and illustrates that companies have still been going out of business over the past decade. However, the analysis of the cableway sector provided by Bergbahnen (nd) suggests that these companies have exited the cableways market for a wide variety of reasons, which in some cases have included non-economic reasons.
