Red-breasted Wheatear typically resides in high-altitude grasslands and sparsely vegetated terrains such as open grounds, hillsides, and lava fields. The species is well-adapted to life in elevated regions predominantly above 1,800 meters, often inhabiting areas between 2,300 and 3,000 meters, with some records even at 3,600 meters. Across its range, red-breasted Wheatear shows a preference for landscapes with little vegetation, occasionally utilizing man-made structures like banks or walls, particularly during breeding seasons.
