But in the tiny village of St. Christoph, 1,800 m up in Austria's famed Arlberg skiing region, the family-owned five-star Hospiz Hotel and nearby Hospiz Alm ski lodge offer a more refined way to kick back after a day on the slopes. Together they boast one of the world's prime collections of Bordeaux - much of it in large-format bottles. Some of these babies range upward of an eye- and cork-popping $3,000.

Middlebury, Cornell, MIT, Williams and a host of other schools boast these J-Terms, which allow their students to study independently or participate in numerous different activities in the time between terms. J-Terms offer significant benefits. Students can catch up on coursework or travel internationally during the J-Term, free for an entire month from the crush of schoolwork...
