mountain vista
Alpine scenic overlook
A mountain vista is a sweeping view of or from mountainous terrain—the kind of expansive scenic outlook that invites you to stop and take it in.
The phrase emphasizes breadth and grandeur: We rounded the bend and suddenly a stunning mountain vista opened before us.
Vista itself means a distant view, so mountain vista specifies the landscape dominating that view.
