Along the sides of rising mountains a pine forest grows impossibly tall trees that love the always cool air, even in the summer. Many of the pokèmon here are thick furred and hardy, though some may head for warmer land when the frigid winter months arrive. Streams that run are small and fast, making some room for sleek water types, and plenty of food for hungry bear pokèmon. They tend to hide out here to hibernate in the winter, so students had best mind the holes they go sticking their noses in.

A place only for experienced trainers, especially in the winter, the mountain tops and plummeting crags can easily strand anyone who ventures this way. Few Pokèmon call this their home, but some that do are especially dangerous. Watch the skies for territorial predators that might find an unobservant student to be a wonderful snack to find indeed. Students should also be aware, the mountains continue beyond the reaches of the Safari Zone, mind you don't cross the markers.
