alpine scenery
High elevation vistas
Alpine scenery is the distinctive landscape of high mountain regions—jagged peaks, steep valleys, glaciers, meadows, and clear mountain lakes.
The term evokes dramatic views associated with the European Alps but applies to any mountainous terrain with similar characteristics: The alpine scenery of the Canadian Rockies rivals Switzerland's.
It suggests grandeur, ruggedness, and natural beauty at elevation.
