Technology can help make everyday life easier, right?<\/p>\n

So, how it can benefit our ski holidays? Who doesn\u2019t want to avoid slow WiFi and old lifts?<\/p>\n

The digital revolt is hitting the slopes! While some may not like it, we can\u2019t quite contain our excitement.<\/p>\n

If you have a shared love for technology and skiing, here\u2019s our list of the best ski resorts for techies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Futuristic Ski Lifts<\/h2>\n

Finally, the bane of all skiers\u2019 lives, long lift queues, may soon disappear for good!<\/p>\n

Well, not quite\u2026 but we try our best to be optimistic.<\/p>\n

Slow ascents and rickety structures are becoming a thing of the past. Here are just a few of the most impressive ski lifts:<\/p>\n

Skyway Monte Bianco, Courmayeur, Italy<\/h3>\n

The self-proclaimed \u20188th Wonder of the World\u2019, Skyway Monte Bianco<\/a> has more to offer its visitors than just a breath-taking landscape.<\/p>\n

Experience a climb to 3,500 metres like never before!<\/p>\n

Featuring cabins that rotate 360\u00b0 as you rise, you\u2019ll see more of the view than you bargained for.<\/p>\n

If you need a refreshment halfway up, stop off at one of three separate stations! There you\u2019ll find different restaurants, a bistro, and even a winery (in case you need a little Dutch courage for the slopes).<\/p>\n

The final station, Punta Helbronner, is home to a panoramic terrace for anyone who wants to experience the views further.<\/p>\n

Skyway gives skiers access to some simply thrilling off-piste routes in both Italy and France. For those impressed by high-tech ski lifts, Skyway won\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n

Giggijoch Mountain Gondola, S\u00f6lden, Austria<\/h3>\n

See yourself whisked up the mountain in record time!<\/p>\n

Techies listen up! This state-of-the-art mountain gondola can transport 4,500 passengers an hour<\/a>. While this alone is impressive, each cabin can hold up to ten people. Gone are the days of having to wait for your friends at the top!<\/p>\n

This futuristic lift is sure to help you make the most of your slope-time.<\/p>\n

Pr\u00e9 Saint Espirit, Les Arcs, France<\/h3>\n

Fancy climbing the mountain in a 6-seater bubble with heated seats?<\/p>\n

Les Arcs has upgraded its Pr\u00e9 Saint Espirit ski lift for the 2017\/18 season. The slow three-seater system has long been forgotten!<\/p>\n

Travelling at 5 metres per second<\/a> and carrying 2,700 people an hour, you\u2019ll get to the slopes faster than ever before.<\/p>\n

Staying Connected<\/h2>\n

WiFi connection is a must-have, especially for the Go-Pro addicts among us.<\/p>\n

No one wants to wait until the end of the day to check how many likes their latest POV ski vid is getting!<\/p>\n

In most bars and restaurants found in the resort, there will be WiFi, or even internet caf\u00e9s, for you to use. But, this doesn\u2019t help you the rest of the time!<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re a show-off who likes to post videos of their stunts, or you like to make the most of the abundance ski apps, <\/a>you need good WiFi signal.<\/p>\n

Fear not, skiing no longer provides respite from your screen addiction! Many ski resorts are now equipped with internet access, allowing you to fulfil your techy needs.<\/p>\n

Here are the best ski resorts for WiFi access on the lifts or pistes:<\/p>\n
