alpine landscape
High mountain terrain
A landscape characterized by high mountain terrain—jagged peaks, steep slopes, glacial valleys, and elevations above the tree line where only hardy grasses and low shrubs survive.
The term evokes the European Alps but applies to any mountainous region with similar features: The alpine landscape of the Rockies stretched before us.
