Capital letters

Good morning -
since my job involves proofresding of CVs I often encounter English titles (though the native language is Danish) - so my quiestion is whether titles are generally written with capital letters or not.
Thanks for your help

It depends on the context. What is Mecsek Hill?
My first thought would be no article. "I am going to climb Mecsek Hill next Saturday."

What do you think? :-)

Is it well capitalized?

"I am going to the Andes to hike." "I am going to the Alps to ski." "I am going to the Matterhorn to get frostbitten." And I will go to the Mecsek mountain range to see svartnik."
