'supplies for carriers in the alps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'switzerland flies' is the wordplay.
'switzerland' becomes 'ch' (short for Confoederatio Helvetica, its Latin name).
'flies' becomes 'airlifts' (airlifting is a kind of flying).
'ch'+'airlifts'='CHAIRLIFTS'

'in' acts as a link.
