But there are people who enjoy partying all the time and are looking for some sand-in-the-fanny-fun on purpose. They love everything about sandcastle molds, sun umbrellas, beach toys and over-sized towels.
But, if seaside resorts do not appeal to you that much as you want to get away from the noisy crowds of the tourists hot-spots, you can head to the high peaks of the mountains. Here you can find an unrivaled combination of peace and serenity, on the one hand, and adventure in breathtaking scenery, on the other hand.
