Sure. It's certainly possible that some other fixed link is the "right" way to do this. For example, at Kehlstein the Nazis bored an elevator shaft to a tunnel in the mountain. (Part of Hitler's 50th birthday present, apparently.) That would certainly be better protected from the elements than an aerial tramway. Tunnel boring technology has advanced quite a bit since the 1930s.
