Mount Granier

Mount Granier is a prominent limestone mountain located in southeastern France, known for its dramatic steep slopes. It is part of the Alps and rises approximately 1,926 meters (6,319 feet) above sea level. The mountain has experienced multiple large landslides, especially notable in the 13th century, when a massive debris slide caused significant destruction on its southern face. These landslides have shaped the mountain’s rugged appearance and pose ongoing geological interest. Mount Granier is a popular site for hiking and scientific study due to its complex geology and history of slope instability.
