Visual Approaches in Mountainous Terrain

I am looking for an ICAO reference/ definition of "mountainous terrain" or "mountainous region" for aircraft operations. I would like to have an understanding of the criteria they use to define these areas, rather than a map or geographical coordinates. Thanks.
