A
hybrid lift is a new type of
ski lift that combines the elements of a
chairlift and a
gondola lift. First introduced by
Poma, who refers to them as
Telemix, they have since been copied by most lift manufacturers who refer to them by a variety of names;
Doppelmayr refers to them as
combined installations, while the more generic terms
chondola and
telecombi are also common.
