alpine resorts
High-altitude vacation spots
Alpine resorts are mountain destinations developed for skiing, snowboarding, and other winter sports, typically featuring lifts, lodges, and trails on steep terrain.
The term evokes European ski villages in the Alps but applies broadly to any mountainous resort area: Aspen and Vail are premier alpine resorts.
Some operate year-round, offering hiking and mountain biking in summer.
