Mont Neiglier, Mountain peak in Mercantour National Park, France
Rising to 2,786 meters, Mont Neiglier stands between Saint-Martin-Vésubie and Belvédère municipalities, featuring steep slopes and rocky outcrops along its faces.
The mountain's name derives from its dark coloration, with linguistic evolution transforming the original 'r' sound to 'l' through the process of rhotacism.
Mont Neiglier marks a significant boundary within the Mercantour-Argentera massif, representing a natural divide between different territorial jurisdictions in the French Alps.
Climbers access the summit via the southwest couloir from Madone de Fenestre, following a diagonal path across the scree slope to reach the mountain ridge.
The northwest face presents multiple climbing routes through gullies and slabs, offering technical challenges that vary based on seasonal conditions.
