The Snow Spider by Jenny Nimmo? I don't think there's been a film adapatation but there was a TV adaptation made in 1988 (four episodes) and another in 2020 (five episodes).

From memory it’s set in the UK countryside/near an mountain and it’s about a young boy who has a missing sister. He meets a strange girl (she may have had amnesia) and befriends her. There is a really clear part where he asks if she can stay over and his dad says yes but his mum gets very upset because she would be sleeping in his sister bedroom that has not been touched since she vanished. The mum eventually apologises and says yes.
Toward the end I recall he goes to the mountain near his house because he thinks his sister is there to try save her. There’s something weird going on though (I think the idea is this strange girl has come from another world and that’s where his sister went in a storm on a mountain). He gets into trouble though but is eventually saved and goes home.
Also if it helps I’m sure I saw a film adaptation a while ago on TV and it’s set in the nineties or eighties?
It’s driving me mad so thanks in advance!
