alpine resort

Ski vacation spot

An alpine resort is a mountain destination developed for skiing, snowboarding, and other winter sports, typically featuring ski lifts, lodges, and après-ski amenities.

The term evokes European ski culture—Swiss chalets, Austrian villages—though it applies broadly to any mountainous winter recreation area: We're spending Christmas at an alpine resort in Colorado.
