aerial tramway
Suspended cable transport
An aerial tramway is a transportation system using enclosed cabins suspended from cables to carry passengers across terrain—typically up mountains or over valleys.
Unlike chairlifts, tramway cabins are fully enclosed and often hold dozens of passengers.
We took the aerial tramway to the summit.
Also called a cable car or gondola lift.
