What is the name of the mountain where Elsa builds her ice palace?

The story behind the answer

Elsa builds her ice palace on the North Mountain in Frozen.

After her powers are revealed during her coronation, Elsa flees Arendelle and climbs into the surrounding wilderness. During “Let It Go,” she stops hiding her abilities and creates a vast palace from ice and snow. The mountain becomes a visual symbol of her escape: far from the kingdom, Elsa believes she can live freely without hurting anyone.

Anna later travels toward the North Mountain with Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf to find her. The palace is not Arendelle Castle, where Elsa was raised and later crowned queen, and the film does not call it Arendelle Mountain, East Mountain, or South Mountain. The structure is sometimes casually called Elsa’s ice castle, but the location’s canonical name is the North Mountain.
