Try moving over lake in Alpine region (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tyrol

'alpine region' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'try moving over lake' is the wordplay.
'moving' indicates anagramming the letters (letters are moved around).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'lake' becomes 'L' (geographical abbreviation).
'try' anagrammed gives 'tyr'.
'tyr'+'o'+'l'='TYROL'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for tyrol that I've seen before include "mountain state" , "Picturesque mountain area in Austria, popular with skiers" , "Austrian/Italian region" , "mountainous area" , "Mountainous state of western Austria" .)
