enclosed valleys
From the BBC Weather Center:
This area is rather wetter than the Swiss plateau and in winter the mountains carry snow for long periods. In some ***enclosed valleys*** winter temperatures can sometimes sink very low as cold air drains into the valley bottom.
There are other references on Google, too.
