You love the mountains. The chill in the air, the misty mornings, the soul-stirring silence. But the idea of huffing and puffing up a trail with a backpack, sore calves, and leeches?

Here are 7 gorgeous mountain hamlets perched high, but with roads that let your car (or cab) do the climbing. So pack your bags, skip the walking poles, and enjoy these easy-access escapes.
