New pals in high places (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alps

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

'new pals' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'pals' with letters rearranged gives 'ALPS'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for alps that I've seen before include "South-central European mountain system" , "Laps around mountains" , "high areas" , "Swiss mountains" , "Mont Blanc mountains" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
