Hitler's birthplace, a two-story stucco house at Vorstadt 219 in the Austrian border town of Braunau am Inn, is no longer marked as a shrine; only informed visitors can pick it out. His Alpine retreat at Obersalzberg, which survived the war, was dynamited by the Bavarian government.

They have succeeded in doing just that by carving bold, ultramodern, eminently convenient resorts out of empty mountain space. The most popular resorts-Flaine, Avoriaz, Les Arcs and La Plagne -are located in the Savoie region; generally, the slopes they offer are every bit as formidable as the more famous runs at Kitzbühel and St. Moritz. Crisscrossed with the latest...
