Mémorial national des troupes de montagne, Military memorial on Mont Jalla in Saint-Martin-le-Vinoux, France.

The Mémorial national des troupes de montagne stands on the crest of Mont Jalla at 635 metres, built of cut limestone blocks into a stepped, flat-roofed structure. Its central "mur de la mémoire" carries 18 plaques naming campaigns such as Italy (1943-1945) and Tunisia; a low north wall bears the mountain troops' insignia above Balzac's line "La gloire est le soleil des morts". Two small cliffs flank the site.

The memorial was established in 2000 and honors roughly 150,000 mountain troops who served France since the mountain corps was formed in 1888. This long tradition makes the mountain units among the oldest and most continuous special forces of the nation.

The memorial bears the name of mountain troops and displays steel plates at its entrance showing 'peace-friendship' in multiple languages. These inscriptions reflect the shared heritage and international bonds between mountain military units from different nations.

The memorial is reached on foot: about thirty minutes from the Bastille site, where the Musée des troupes de montagne opened in 2009, or from the Mas Caché, and one hour forty-five via the GR 9 from the col de Vence on the road to Le Sappey. The site stands at 634 metres on a nearly level ridge, 420 metres above Grenoble.

At the foot of the cliff below the memorial lies one of two Breton granite blocks from a lighthouse on the Île de Sein, destroyed in 1944 by the occupying army because it was considered too illuminating. The two blocks were given to Grenoble in 1997 under exchanges between towns named Compagnon de la Libération; the other stands at the entrance to the Jardin des Dauphins.
