One lift with both gondola cabins and chairs on the same ropeway. Also seen them referred to as Kombibahn in Austria.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Are they more useful for runs that are used in the summer for maybe a downhill mountain biking? I'm not sure I'd be too happy having my bike hanging off the back of a chairlift.

I've seen MTBs hanging off the back of chairs (from the double hook thing) too, personally I'd prefer to take my bike in a gondola. But then I'm not a downhill MTBer, I'm a roadie so prefer to be climbing up the mountain by road.
