alpine view

Peak and valley

A view of or from mountainous terrain, typically featuring dramatic peaks, valleys, glaciers, or high-altitude meadows.

The phrase suggests grandeur and expansiveness: The cabin boasted an alpine view of snow-capped summits.

Real estate and travel writing favor the term for its connotations of pristine wilderness and natural beauty.
