High spots of a European tour (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alps

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'high spots' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a european tour' is the wordplay.
'european tour' becomes 'lps' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'lps'='ALPS'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for alps that I've seen before include "Mountain system, highest peak Mont Blanc" , "Mont Blanc is therein" , "Mountain pastures" , "high points" , "& 11 their highest peak" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Irish News.
