snow-capped peaks
White-topped mountain heights
Mountains with summits covered in snow, typically year-round.
The phrase appears frequently in travel writing, nature documentaries, and scenic descriptions: The snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas rose in the distance.
The image evokes majesty and remoteness—mountains high enough that snow persists even in warmer seasons.
