This is a cool theme.
Heck, there's an entire "sub genre" of this theme out there with all the WWII "escape via the Alps" based movies.
Just two of the many of those include "The Mortal Storm" and "Night Train to Munich."

The Mountain (1956) with Spencer Tracy and Robert Wagner is about two brothers (!!), one of whom (Wagner) convinces his older brother (Tracy) to help him retrieve salvage from a plane crash on Mont Blanc in the French Alps. The movie is about the climb and the aftermath; there's a survivor from the plane whom Wagner would just as soon leave there, but Tracy insists they rescue her. The two don't really make sense as brothers and I know it's not the first cad Wagner played (or the last) but I don't really like seeing him that way. But, as an adventure film it's really good.  Charade (1963) had a meet-cute with Audrey and Cary at a ski lodge in the Alps, where the little kid squirted Cary with a water pistol. I'm assuming Givenchy did her ski togs, or did he just do gowns?  Doris Day's Caprice (1967) started in the Alps with a murder on the ski slopes and The Pink Panther (1963) had some Alpine skiing and a ski lodge setting for some of it, though I couldn't find screen shots from either.

And of course there is Elizabeth Taylor's Sunbeam Alpine in "Butterfield 8:"
Oh, wrong kind of Alpine. My bad.
