US - To me, a "cable car" is something that runs along the ground and is pulled by cables. (e.g., the cable cars in San Francisco.) Another common word for them is "trolley." When I searched "teleferic," the pictures were of things in the air that you use to go up and down mountains or to get better sky views. Those, I would call "gondolas." "Teleferic" is not an English word.

Teleferic is not used in English. Cable car is the most globally used but I have seen aerial/sky lift used on occasion too.

Teleferic is not English... Cable car is the usual term across the English world....Remember we don´t see these often in English countries, only when we go on holiday to non English speaking places. So we use words from other countries and languages to describe our memories.
