** French alpine troops were vastly outnumbered by the invading Italian army in June 1940, but they managed to hold them off in key passage points in the Alps (one such passage was defended by ''9'' French soldiers against ''3000'' Italians) until they had to surrender due to the armistice. The French also inflicted heavy damage to some Italian mountain forts such as Chaberton with their high precision artillery. UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini thought he would have it easy to declare war to France and invade it after Germans shattered the best French armies and the British Expeditionary Force in the North, but he was wrong, and was initially not able to occupy large chunks of French land as a result.

** Following the invasion of mainland Italy in September 1943, the Allied Forces fighting the Germans there have had to battle through several notable Italian hills and mountains. The most notable of these battles of the Battle of Monte Cassino, fought between January to May of 1944 in order to breach the Gustav Line defenses. Following the failure of American and British troops in securing the bombed-out monastery located on the top of Monte Cassino, the latter would finally fall when Polish troops fought their way up despite determined German resistance.

* ''{{VideoGame/Valheim}}'': The Mountains are one of the most dangerous biopmes in the game, and not just because of the vision-obscuring blizzards, LightningBruiser wolves, flying drakes, and occasional werewolves. The steep terrain means you spend more time fighting gravity than enemies (expect a lot of deaths from simply falling too far or misjudging a jump), and the severe HitboxDissonance that occurs when you and the enemies are at different heights makes that even worse. And that's assuming you even have the gear to be there in the first place: without warm clothes (made with wolf fur) or frost-resistance mead, the Freezing effect reduces health regen, stamina regen, and damages you every second.

He was part of a unit that trained explicitly for mountain warfare against enemy infantry... that was then assigned to fighting in open plains against tanks, much to his frustration. He finally gets his chance for mountain warfare ''after'' the war has ended, [[RiverOfInsanity much to his regret]].

The hazards of mountain warfare become significant plot points: logistics are complicated by the narrow trails, and an entire battalion is lost after pursuing the Sinack too high and succumbing to altitude sickness, weakening them for a counterattack.

The narration acknowledges that warring in snowy mountains is difficult; it's taken the rebels weeks to gradually surround the fortress and wear down the hardened natives. It's thanks to the flying skills of the shadow serpents and the Mantis Khan's WallCrawl ability that Jade's army is able to reach Snowpoint in just a day and a half.
