aerial tram

An aerial tram is a transportation system using cabins suspended from cables to carry passengers across terrain—typically over valleys, rivers, or up mountains.

Unlike ski lifts with multiple small chairs, aerial trams usually have one or two large enclosed cabins that travel back and forth between stations: The aerial tram to the summit offers spectacular views.
