gondola lift
Aerial ski transport
A gondola lift is an aerial transportation system using enclosed cabins suspended from cables, typically carrying skiers up mountains or tourists across scenic terrain.
Unlike chairlifts, gondolas are fully enclosed, protecting passengers from weather.
We took the gondola lift to the summit.
Also called a cable car or aerial tramway, though these terms have technical distinctions.
