Mountain

Mountain is a direct Landform subtype. It adds no properties of its own. Use the inherited Place vocabulary, especially geo (GeoCoordinates for peak position) and containedInPlace (the mountain range or administrative region).

For volcanic peaks, schema.org has a separate Volcano subtype.

Full example of schema.org/Mountain json-ld markup

The markup is verified as valid with Rich Results Test from Google.

schema.org/Mountain
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Mountain",
  "name": "Mount Xoo",
  "description": "A modest 610-metre peak in the Pocono Plateau used as a reference point and the namesake of the Xoo Code Foundation.",
  "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": 41.4412, "longitude": -75.5932, "elevation": "610 m" },
  "containedInPlace": { "@type": "AdministrativeArea", "name": "Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania" }
}
</script>

Minimal valid version

The smallest markup that still produces a valid Mountain entity. Use it as the floor. Reach for the advanced example above when you want search engines and AI agents to understand more about your content.

schema.org/Mountain (minimal)
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Mountain",
  "name": "Mount Xoo",
  "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": 41.4412, "longitude": -75.5932 }
}
</script>

Google rich results this unlocks

Mountain is a structural type. It does not produce a rich result on its own.

Its value comes from combining it with a primary type whose markup earns a rich result (Article, Product, Event, and so on). Mountain becomes the trunk that the primary type branches off viamainEntityorbreadcrumb. Include it on every page as the backbone of your markup.

Common Mountain mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

  1. 01

    Elevation as a bare number

    Wrong
    "elevation": 610
    Right
    "elevation": "610 m" (Text with unit) or QuantitativeValue with unitCode MTR

    GeoCoordinates.elevation is Text by default; provide the unit explicitly so 610 metres does not get read as 610 feet.
