The Dolomites and Rome, Italy
The Dolomites, a mountain range in Italy, served as a background to mimic the scenery of Mount Everest. This was done mainly due to the harsh weather conditions and lack of sunlight in the Everest base camps.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, after completing filming at the Everest Base Camps, the production team moved to Cinecitta Studios in Rome. With an area covering 40,000 square metres, this is the largest film studio in Europe.

Iceland
As per Variety, after filming in Italy, the production team moved to Iceland for a month. Iceland is the home country of Baltasar Kormákur, the director of Everest (2015). His knowledge of the country's climate and geography helped the team to shoot the harsh weather conditions in the movie.
