I feel the “Swiss Alps” is one of the most well-known geographical hotspots in the world. The Himalayas are extremely common knowledge, and I would throw the Andes into the conversation too. But the Alps—especially the Swiss Alps—are taught early on in life at school. Everyone is different, but for me, this is a one out of five clue in the NYT Mini Crossword.
