sky ride

Suspended cable transport

A sky ride is an aerial transportation system at amusement parks, ski resorts, or scenic attractions—typically a gondola, chairlift, or cable car that carries passengers above the ground for views or access to elevated areas.

We took the sky ride to the top of the mountain.

The term emphasizes the experience of traveling through open air rather than the mechanical system itself.
