mountain air

High elevation breath

Mountain air is the atmosphere at high elevations, typically cooler, thinner, and perceived as cleaner than air at lower altitudes.

The phrase often carries connotations of freshness and healthfulness: We drove up to the cabin to get some mountain air.

Breathing mountain air is associated with escape from urban pollution and rejuvenation.
