mountain dwellers

Peak-region residents

Mountain dwellers are people who live in mountainous regions, typically at high elevations where terrain, climate, and isolation shape daily life.

The term appears in anthropological and geographical contexts: Mountain dwellers have adapted to thin air and steep slopes for generations.

It can also describe wildlife: Goats are natural mountain dwellers.
