mountain resorts
Peak vacation spots
Mountain resorts are vacation destinations built in mountainous terrain, typically offering skiing and snowboarding in winter, hiking and climbing in summer.
The term covers both the developed areas—lodges, lifts, restaurants—and the surrounding slopes: Aspen is one of Colorado's most exclusive mountain resorts.
Many operate year-round, shifting from snow sports to golf and mountain biking.
