Mount Prorel, Mountain summit in Hautes-Alpes, France
Mount Prorel rises 2,566 meters above sea level, overlooking the Guisane and Durance valleys near the fortified town of Briançon in the French Alps.
The mountain received its name from the Prorel family, specifically connected to Vincent Prorel who was abandoned in Briançon during 1914 near this prominent peak.
The mountain path features several religious monuments leading to the Chapelle Notre-Dame-des-Neiges, an 18th-century chapel located along the hiking trail.
A cable car system connects Briançon to the summit with an intermediate stop at Puy-Saint-Pierre village, operating as Prorel 1 and Prorel 2 segments.
The geological composition reveals substantial coal deposits within limestone formations, marking the core of the western Briançonnais anticlinal structure.
