Actually, it'd be entirely possible to make an Alpine region without depending on Seasons' winter season to operate. All it would need is snow textures on the region (which would be permanent since it's a vacation zone). It doesn't need to actually snow to give us the feel of the Alpines, and it wouldn't be terribly hard to have a "winter" without any of the winter features if you don't own Seasons, and have an active winter if you do (similar to how if you don't own Seasons, the default season is summer without the summer features). All of the stuff you'd do there, like skiing, snowboarding, etc, would all be handled by items and zone features, so they wouldn't be dependent on having the winter from Seasons. It's very feasible to have an Alpine pack without Seasons.
That said, I don't think an Alpine region would differ THAT much from Granite falls, given that they're both wooded with evergreens, mountainous, and all that. About the only difference would be a lodge hotel to stay at, as opposed to a campsite or rental home, and of course the snowy activities as opposed to forest activities. I think the beach would be a more diverse vacation spot.
