The term HIGH PEAKS can be broken down into two crossword solutions: ALPS and TORS. The ALPS are a mountain range located in Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. They are the highest and most extensive mountain range in Europe, with peaks reaching up to 4, 808 meters. Tors are rocky hills or small mountains found in the British Isles, typically formed from granite. They are often found in areas of high moorland, and are usually isolated from other hills.
