cableway
Mountain gondola system
A cableway is a transport system using suspended cables to carry passengers or cargo across terrain—typically spanning valleys, rivers, or mountainsides.
Aerial tramways, gondolas, and ski lifts are types of cableways.
Industrial cableways move materials like ore or timber across difficult ground: The mining operation installed a cableway to transport equipment up the mountain.
