The cabin |
 |
One of the main characteristics of the Dorfbahn is that the cabin leans on multiple air cushions. On this photo taken at the delivery of a cabin down to the gallery, you can see the different air cushions. The Dorfbahn subway is composed of one train of one or two cabins. Drawing of the OTIS air cushions. (Photo from the Seilbahn Komperdell booklet.) |
Inside of a cabin. The comfort and the decoration are a little bit simple or... Spartan! Remember that the Dorfbahn was built to transport skiers with their equipment. |

A cabin at Station Parkplatz. Above each door the letters show where is the cabin and the green arrow shows the direction of the cabin. |
