Mont Valier, Mountain peak in Ariège, France
Mont Valier reaches an elevation of 2838 meters within the Regional Natural Park of Ariège Pyrenees, standing as the highest summit in this section.
During World War II, the Path to Freedom across Mont Valier helped 782 people escape between 1940 and 1944, despite increased German surveillance.
The mountain serves as a symbol of the Couserans region, with its marble cross representing centuries of religious and mountaineering traditions.
Three main climbing routes access the summit from Ribèret, Estours, and Montgarri, each presenting different elevation gains and time requirements.
The Arcouzan Glacier on Mont Valier's northeastern face holds the distinction of being the easternmost and most isolated glacier in the Pyrenees.
