High is a comparative word, so in the context of the question, high altitude is where some major change takes place. In my local mountains, the winter snow line is about 600m and the summer snow line is about 1000m, so that is where tree/shrub growth stops.
A mountaineer might consider the altitude where acclimatization is needed. A jet pilot might consider something different again. But change of circumstance carries some meaning.
