gondola lifts

Ski resort cabins

Gondola lifts are aerial transportation systems using enclosed cabins suspended from cables, typically carrying passengers up mountains at ski resorts or across difficult terrain.

Unlike open chairlifts, gondolas are fully enclosed, offering protection from weather: We took the gondola lift to the summit.

The singular is gondola lift or simply gondola.
