What do you call a town on top of a hill and/or surrounded by hills, is it hilly town? Could it be ridgy town or mountain town? I mean a cold town on top of a hill. Thanks in advance.

  • What do you mean by a "cold" town? Do you mean that since the town is high in the mountains, it has a cold climate?

I would call such a place:

A chilly hilltop town

I doubt many people would use "hilly town", rather a town with hilly terrain. The hilly part refers to the land the town is on, not the town itself.
