Mont Monnet, Mountain summit in Loire, France.

Mont Monnet is a mountain summit in Loire that rises as the northeastern point of the Pilat massif between the Loire and Rhône departments. It has a rounded shape topped by a chapel and a statue overlooking the landscape.

The Notre-Dame-d'en-Haut chapel was built in 1872 on the rounded back of the mountain. This structure reflects the religious development of the region.

A statue of Mary and Child overlooks the chapel at the summit and serves as a visual landmark for local communities. It remains an important spiritual focal point for people living in the surrounding villages.

Climbing the summit is possible via marked trails, with the Col de Pavezin serving as a convenient starting point. The paths offer varying difficulty levels and allow flexible planning for different fitness levels.

From the summit there is an open view over the Rhône Valley and the geological diversity of the surrounding landscape. This natural vantage point offers a rare perspective on multiple mountain regions at once.
