Mourre de Chanier, Mountain summit in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.

The Mourre de Chanier is a limestone mountain in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence with three summits: the Mourre de Chanier (1,930 m) to the east, Grand Mourre (1,898 m) to the west and Petit Mourre (1,873 m) to the centre-north. The three are linked by a small plateau called the Grande Plaine, bordered by cliffs on its sunny side. The upper slopes are bare, pale grey and brown, with exposed layered rock bands and scree.

The Mourre de Chanier is made of Upper Jurassic limestone, like the rest of the Préalpes de Digne. The massif emerged during the genesis of the Alps about 5 million years ago. Its three summits, the Mourre de Chanier, Grand Mourre and Petit Mourre, are linked by the small plateau of la Grande Plaine, bordered by cliffs on its sunny side.

The name Mourre comes from a Provençal word meaning "snout", used for summits with a rounded profile. The three tops of the massif carry it: the Mourre de Chanier proper, the Grand Mourre and the Petit Mourre, so the term also serves to distinguish the peaks from one another.

The summit is reached via marked trails graded T2, which suit hikers with some experience and require moderate fitness. Visitors should bring proper equipment, water, and weather protection as conditions can change quickly at elevation.

The Natura 2000 site Gorges de Trévans-Montdenier-Mourre de Chanier, created in 2002, covers 8,826 hectares and protects the massif's dry and steppe grasslands. These open lawns, which cover the mountain's treeless slopes, are notable for their floral richness, particularly on the cliffs.
