Abstract from DBPedia
    A mountain resort is a place to holiday or vacation located in an elevated and typically at least relatively isolated area. The term resort implies integral hotel or inn accommodations, restaurants, and either or both sports facilities or scenic attractions. These can either be part of a "destination resort" that provides both accommodations and activities, or in a "resort town" that offers amenities near outdoor areas. Winter sports include skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating, and summer activities such as hiking, golf, and tennis. Sightseeing and related activities such as leaf peeping to appreciate Fall colors are also common where foliage turns. In hot climates hill and mountain resorts are visited for the cooler temperatures at higher elevations.

    山岳リゾート(さんがくリゾート、英語: mountain resort)は、山岳地域に立地する休日や休暇を過ごす場所。スキー、スノーボード、アイスクライミング、スケートなどのウィンタースポーツやマウンテンバイク、マウンテンボード、ハイキングなどの夏の活動を行う場所を含み、スキーの場合はスキーリゾートとも称する。高温地域では丘陵・山岳リゾートは避暑地として機能する。
