alpine village
High-altitude settlement
A small settlement in mountainous regions, typically characterized by traditional architecture, steep surrounding terrain, and an economy historically tied to farming, herding, or skiing.
The term evokes Swiss or Austrian communities with chalets, church steeples, and dramatic peaks: We stayed in a quaint alpine village during our ski trip.
Alpine villages often serve as bases for hiking and winter sports tourism.
