Previously, the settlement was known as the Tuzler village (Crimean Tatar: Tüzler). Following the forced deporation of the Crimean Tatars in 1944, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Russian SFSR published a decree on May 18, 1948 renaming the settlement along with many others throughout Crimea from their native Crimean Tatar names to their current variants.

Vysokohirne is located on Crimea's southern shore at an elevation of 695 metres (2,280 ft). The settlement is located 7 km (4.3 mi) southwest from Livadiya, which it is administratively subordinate to. Its population was 137 in the 2001 Ukrainian census. Current population: 127 (2014 Census).
