Wiki.

Piker's Peak is a 1957 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes animated short directed by Friz Freleng. The short was released on May 25, 1957, and stars Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam. The title is a pun on Pike's Peak, although that respected mountain summit is in North America rather than in Europe (a "piker" is a small-time gambler, in North American slang).

The film is a mountain film. It features a mountaineering competition about the first person able to climb an unconquered mountain peak in the Swiss Alps. The mountain featured is fictional, but its name is based on the Matterhorn.
