In these health-conscious times it can be hard to find a holiday which provides relaxation and an element of laziness whislt at the same time doesn't actually reduce your life expectancy.
Assuming that puts a fortnight frying on the beach drinking nothing but Sangria out of the question, what are your options? Whilst mountain biking, abseiling and foraging for roots are all honourable pursuits, it is unlikely to qualify as 'relaxing' for the general populace (and are potentially the most life-shortening option of all....)
A winter holiday on the ski slopes however could be the perfect solution. A combination of fresh mountain air and a pleasing ache in the muscles at the end of the day makes that second hot chocolate a deserved medicinal remedy. The level of exercise can vary depending on your preference (and skiing prowess) and if you fancy a break from the slopes there are always the mountain boutiques and inns to explore.
