Imagine a Death Mountain. The rough terrain, relative lack of oxygen, snow, and rockslides and avalanches are already deadly to anyone trying to scale the region. Now imagine soldiers not only trying to advance through such a place, but fighting for territorial control over the entire mountain. Combine that with trying to get food, medical supplies, and ammunition up narrow roads and goat trails, and you have a recipe for something deadly to anyone and everyone involved. Depending on the region, civilian settlements can range from tiny mountain villages to thriving mountainside towns, or even a relatively large city built atop a plateau. Tanks may be virtually useless here thanks to lack of paved roads or even suitable roads for motor vehicles, so the best options of getting supplies in would be on foot, on pack animals such as mules, donkeys, and horses, or, in more modern settings, via air drop or helicopter. The soldiers tasked with being deployed to these kinds of regions will likely be elite troops trained specifically for these kinds of environments, with their rank and file usually hailing from similar environments, and their officers being experienced mountaineers when not on duty. Mountain Warfare is Exactly What It Says on the Tin, a trope that involves a military conflict taking place in mountainous and rough terrain environments. Much like in Jungle Warfare and Desert Warfare, any advancing army not familiar with the environment can and will be killed by the environment, sometimes even moreso than by their enemy. In addition, thanks to some partial overlap with Winter Warfare (namely some higher mountains being frozen over for most of, if not the entire, year), hypothermia, trench foot, and frostbite can also be potential problems on the battlefield. In Real Life, the battles most associated with them in recent times would be World War I's Italian Front, fought between the Kingdom of Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Battles of the Caucasus fought in World War II's War in Europe and Africa, and the conflicts in Siachen and Kargil. Compare and contrast with Desert Warfare, Jungle Warfare, Winter Warfare, and Urban Warfare, where fighting takes place in scorching and arid regions, lush tropical rainforests, frozen forests and tundras, and the ruins of villages, towns, and cities, respectively. May overlap with Snow Means Death if the mountains are a wintry or frozen place, with the snow and particularly avalanches just as deadly as falling from a high altitude, a rockslide, or an enemy ambush. |

Cliffhanger is about Gabe Walker, a mountain search and rescue worker responding to a crashed plane's distress call in the Rocky Mountains. The signal turns out to be a ruse set up by a group of terrorists who are trying to recover precious cargo from the crash site and they needed to kidnap a skilled mountaineer with knowledge of the terrain. Walker has to escape from the terrorists and ensure they don't succeed in their plans. | |

Dawn of War: While it's not a part of the gameplay, some skirmish maps have Flavor Text on the difficulties of mountain warfare. One in particular recounts an Imperial Guard regiment attacking a Tau-held peak under heavy fire, with the Tau battlesuits jetpacking away to an even harder-to-reach peak just as the Guardsmen got into weapons range. | |

Elden Ring: Leyndell's assault on Volcano Manor, a castle built at the peak of the dormant volcano Mount Gelmir, has the dubious distinction of being identified as the worst battle of the entire Shattering. Between the sheer cliffs being nearly impossible to traverse, Leyndell's defensively-oriented army being forced to perform an offensive, and the general collapse of civilization, the assault has bogged down into an ongoing nightmare where Leyndell's soldiers have started going insane from despair and eating their own dead. Several save points are located at campsites they've set up while trying to ascend the volcano, but despite their efforts it seems like none of them even got within sight of Volcano Manor itself. | |

Among other things, the series creators have covered the everyday life and battlefield conditions in the Julian Alps, who the commanders on both the Italian and Austro-Hungarian sides were, the weapons and equipment that both sides used, and finally, the occasional weekly log on what transpired in the theater. | |

Shadows over Meridian: Jade leads an army of Phobos loyalists and Mantis Khan to the northern mountains to thwart just in time the rebel army that's on the verge of claiming victory over the Lurdens and Mogriffs at Snowpoint. The narration acknowledges that warring in snowy mountains is difficult; it's taken the rebels weeks to gradually surround the fortress and wear down the hardened natives. It's thanks to the flying skills of the shadow serpents and the Mantis Khan's Wall Crawl ability that Jade's army is able to reach Snowpoint in just a day and a half. | |

Nintendo Wars: Mountains are one of two terrains, the other being the HQ, which gives 4 terrain stars, the highest number that a terrain can provide. However, since it is a steep terrain, it can only be climbed by infantry and mech units, which the former having to use their entire movement to move through. Infantry-specialized COs, like Sami and Sensei, and Lash, who deals additional firepower based on terrain stars, can take advantage of the mountain terrain for offense and defense. "Mountain Ops," a mission exclusive to the Challenge campaign in Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, is a map filled with mountains. Both Sami and Lash, the two COs that utilize the mountains to their fullest potential, fight each other in this mission. |

BattleTech (2018): The mission setting effects combat in two forms, namely heat burden (how hard it is to shed heat and any Geo Effects that might affect heat) and terrain smoothness. The mission ratings warn players of the ambient atmosphere, but not the terrain generation. Mountainous maps favor more mobile 'Mechs equipped with Jump Jet Packs, such that mobile forces can achieve a Victory by Endurance against units who are too slow or limited to react, even if the latter force is much more powerful. This means that an unprepared player who brought nothing but Mighty Glacier designs such as the Awesome will be forced to slowly march single file up narrow mountain passes to reach the desired engagement area while being harried by nimbler forces such as the common Phoenix Hawk. | |

Sabaton's "Soldier of Heaven" is told from the perspective of a nameless World War I soldier who died in the White Friday avalanches. The soldier speaks of "taking the stairway to heaven" as he scales the slopes of "Blood Mountain" (traditionally Col di Lana, which fell to the Italians in April 1916). The soldier remains entombed where he was buried by the snow and describes watching battles of World War II waged far below, though he can tell his story to no one. | |

The Punisher MAX: General Zakharov got his "Man of Stone" nickname during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan while clearing out resistance fighters from mountain villages (helicopters were the preferred option, but they could be spotted from far away, letting the fighters escape). Zakharov's solution was to go up to a village, force the entire civilian population to the base of a cliff, and start tossing them over the edge. Zakharov didn't budge an inch when the hidden fighters opened fire, revealing their positions to the helicopters. | |

The statement giver in episode 95 of The Magnus Archives is an Italian soldier who served in World War II. He was part of a unit that trained explicitly for mountain warfare against enemy infantry... that was then assigned to fighting in open plains against tanks, much to his frustration.

Medal of Honor: Underground: The fifth and sixth levels take place in the mountains of Italy and France, respectively. In the former, Manon Batiste is tasked with raiding the German-held monastery atop Monte Cassino to save a number of captured US airmen and destroy a number of German supply dumps. The latter, meanwhile, has Manon forced to infiltrate into a ski resort converted by the Germans into a V-1 Flying Bomb production facility. Notably, in the latter mission, Manon has to fight German mountain troops trained specifically to fight in this kind of environment. | |

Valheim: The Mountains are one of the more dangerous biomes in the game, and not just because of the vision-obscuring blizzards, Lightning Bruiser wolves, flying drakes, and occasional werewolves. The steep terrain means you spend a lot of time fighting gravity rather than enemies (expect a lot of deaths from simply falling too far or misjudging a jump), and the severe Hitbox Dissonance that occurs when you and the enemies are at different heights makes that even worse. Additionally, without a campfire, warm clothes (made with wolf fur) or frost resistance mead, the Freezing effect will gradually whittle down at your health. | |

Alderamin on the Sky: While still Military Academy cadets, the cast get posted to the mountainous northern border of the Katvjarna Empire, and become embroiled in a rebellion by the local Sinack people intentionally provoked by the racist military governor. The hazards of mountain warfare become significant plot points: logistics are complicated by the narrow trails, and an entire battalion is lost after pursuing the Sinack too high and succumbing to altitude sickness, weakening them for a counterattack. | |

Isonzo: Set on the Italian Front of World War I, all of the game's maps are set in the mountains between Italy and Austria-Hungary, with the Royal Italian Army and Austro-Hungarian (and later, German) Armies fighting for control of various peaks, plateaus, and valleys in-between. | |

The Outpost depicts the true story of the 2009 Battle of Kamdesh as Combat Outpost Keating, which was foolishly built at the bottom of a mountain range, comes under massive attack by hundreds of Taliban fighters striking from the mountains and overrunning the base. | |

Squad: Has a number of mountainous maps that can be played taking place in several different mountain ranges, such as Fool's Road, set in Dagestan, Mestia in Georgia, Skorpo in Norway, and Manicouagan in Quebec. All those maps place emphasis on quick movement and skirmishing between hilltops, the difficult terrain also makes land-based supply lines particularly complicated, which means that a team losing their air-based supply vehicle can be particularly damaging to forward positions. | |

Sabaton History: The "Soldier of Heaven" episode chronicles the conditions of the war on the Italian front of World War I, particularly the battles for Col di Lana, renamed Col di Sangue, "Blood Mountain", by the Italian alpini who fought there. It culminates with Italian engineers blowing the entire summit off the mountain in April 1916, so the army could advance into what remained of the Austrian positions, only for the Austrian Gebirgsjäger to simply withdraw to the next mountain over and blow up the ridge connecting them, stalling the advance once again. | |

Princesses of the Pizza Parlor: Cookies and Campers involves the playing of a game where the player party is ascending what's described as a "small mountain" to try and reach the occupied ruins at its top, and those occupiers detect the party and have had years and years to build up strength and numbers to repulse such suspected invaders, but they really rely just on distance to keep people the only other people around, who live not-close to the foot of the mountain, from bothering them. | |

86 EIGHTY-SIX: The "Feldreß" spider walkers of the setting were originally developed by the Alliance of Wald, a small mountainous country that was able to use said walkers to employ rapid hit and run attacks on invaders by swooping down from mountain peaks and rapidly climbing slopes. The start of Volume 7 shows these tactics are still effective against the Legion, which is how the country has managed to survive the continent's decade-long Robot War. | |

Crusader Kings II: Mountain terrain provides significant defensive bonuses to armies. A good technique to force a decisive battle against the (rather cowardly) AI is to place a weaker army on a mountain county with a stronger army nearby, allow the AI's army to engage the weak army and pin it in place, and then order the strong army to march to its rescue: the entire defending side will receive the terrain bonus. | |

Flag: The country of Uddiyana is a thinly veiled stand-in for Nepal (whose own actual civil war was in its final year at the time of the anime's airing) and several battles involve heavy use of helicopter gunships and HAVWCs deployed since they are the best options to traverse the mountainous terrain. | |

Medal of Honor: Medal of Honor (1999): The fifth, sixth, and seventh levels notably take place in the mountains of Norway, Austria, and Germany, respectively, with the former two notably taking place in the dead of winter as well. Patterson himself is stated to have received extra hiking equipment just for these two missions. Medal of Honor: Underground: The fifth and sixth levels take place in the mountains of Italy and France, respectively. In the former, Manon Batiste is tasked with raiding the German-held monastery atop Monte Cassino to save a number of captured US airmen and destroy a number of German supply dumps. The latter, meanwhile, has Manon forced to infiltrate into a ski resort converted by the Germans into a V-1 Flying Bomb production facility. Notably, in the latter mission, Manon has to fight German mountain troops trained specifically to fight in this kind of environment. Medal of Honor: Allied Assault: The final level of Breakthrough involves Sgt. John Baker and the US 34th Infantry Division defending the Allied frontline at Monte Battaglia in Northern Italy. Thanks to the rough terrain and poor weather, Baker's unit is struggling with supply issues, which is made worse when the Germans launch a well-coordinated counteroffensive in the midst of a heavy downpour. Medal of Honor (2010): The story is heavily based on the events of Operation Anaconda from 2002, so the majority of the game's campaign involves fighting Taliban and Al-Qaida militants across the Takur Ghar mountain range. |
