Taken to the other extreme here in the states...I flew down to Lee
Gilmer (LGM) in Gainsville GA some years ago around Christmas time. I
was on a VFR flight plan with flight following.

Atlanta Center kept me wayyyy up high until we were past the mountains


How did they do that?


Common sense mostly.

I had mentioned starting down sooner and they *suggested* that I stay
up there until farther south of the mountains.

It was pitch black below. I took their advice. They kept me up there
by kinda, sorta, indicating, it might be safer until well clear of the
mountains where I could remain in contact closer to the airport.
