A tall mountain with snow on its peak. It means high peaks, alpine travel, skiing and cold, clean mountain air.
Ski trips pair it with โท๏ธ or ๐. Climbers and trekkers post it for a summit. It also suits places like the Alps, the Rockies or the Himalayas.
For a green or rocky mountain without snow, โฐ๏ธ is the plain version.
