If Hot Air Rises, why are Mountains so cold?

Hot air rises but as it rises it gradually expands and cools down (the process known as adiabatic cooling) the decrease in pressure makes the air become so cold that it doesn't rise anymore.

The air pressure in the mounains is much lower causing the temperatures to be so cold.
