In December, the work you want to do before the end of the year is piling up. In the midst of Advent stress, the to-do list gets longer and longer, and the stress level increases. A relaxing weekend in the snowy mountains is a good idea. Like in a fairy tale, this time of year Peter coats the Swiss peaks with powdered sugar.
Whether you’re putting on your skis, snowboarding, sledding downhill, or put your feet up by the fireplace and stick your nose in a good book. Seclusion in a mountain lodge promises adventure as well as relaxation and often offers many possibilities. These are our favorites for this winter.
