snow-covered peaks
Frosted mountain tops
Snow-covered peaks are mountain summits blanketed in snow, typically year-round or for most of the year.
The phrase evokes alpine majesty and appears in travel writing, nature photography, and descriptions of wilderness: The snow-covered peaks of the Himalayas rose in the distance.
The image suggests remoteness, pristine beauty, and dramatic elevation.
