mountain lifestyle

High-altitude existence

Mountain lifestyle describes a way of living centered on mountainous regions and their associated activities, values, and aesthetics.

It typically involves outdoor pursuits like skiing, hiking, and climbing, along with an appreciation for rugged terrain, natural beauty, and a slower pace removed from urban life.

The term often carries aspirational connotations of health, adventure, and escape: They sold everything and embraced the mountain lifestyle in Colorado.
