View from St. Moritz
Answer:
ALP
Hint:
This Swiss peak range is famous for winter sports and shares its name with a type of horn played in the mountains.
Explanation:
St. Moritz is a famous Swiss resort town nestled in the Alps, so "view from St. Moritz" directly hints at the mountain range surrounding it. The answer "ALP" is a shortened form of "Alps," playing on the idea that you’re seeing just one peak (or one letter less) of the full name. It’s a straightforward geographic reference with a slight twist in brevity.
