Mont Valier (2,838 m) is a mountain in Ariège in the Pyrenees. Its name comes from ''Valerius'' (Saint Valier, ca. 452), the mythical first bishop of Couserans,〔A. Bourneton, "Une ascension inédite sous le premier Empire", ''Pyrénées'', no. 183-184, 1995, pp. 295-312 ; no. 185, 1996, pp. 16-28 ; no. 186, 1996, pp. 123-133〕 who made an ascent of the peak. Bernard de Marmiesse, another bishop of Couserans, had a marble cross erected on the peak in 1670.〔Giles Barber, ''Saint-Girons - Ses rues, leur histoire à travers les âges'', PyréGraph, 2005. ISBN 2-908723-64-6.〕 == Geography == Mont Valier belongs to the Pyrénean axial channel. A small glacier - Glacier d'Arcouzan - occupies its north-eastern slope. It is the only glacier in the Pyrénées situated in a massif below 3000m, the most Eastern glacier in the chain and also the most isolated. The summit is located on the perimeter of the regional park of the Ariège Pyrénées. A set of valleys originate on its sides: (on the French side): the stream of Artigues, a tributary of the Salat (which itself rises a few miles from Mount Valier); the Ribérot, a tributary of the Lez, itself a tributary of the Salat. (on the Spanish side): the Noguera Pallaresa, and a few miles to the west, one of many sources of the Garonne. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mont Valier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
