mountain resort

Peak vacation spot

A mountain resort is a destination developed for tourism and recreation in a mountainous area, typically offering skiing, hiking, or other outdoor activities along with lodging and amenities.

The term covers both the facilities themselves and the surrounding area: We're spending the holidays at a mountain resort in Colorado.

Some mountain resorts operate year-round, shifting from winter sports to summer activities.
