Mount Matier is a prominent 2,783-metre (9,131-foot) mountain summit located in the Coast Mountains, in Joffre Lakes Provincial Park, in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is the highest point of the Joffre Group, which is a subset range of the Coast Mountains. It is situated 26 km (16 mi) east of Pemberton, and 9 km (6 mi) northeast of Lillooet Lake. Its nearest higher peak is Mount Weart, 30 km (19 mi) to the southwest. The slopes of the mountain are covered by the Matier Glacier on the northwest, Anniversary Glacier on the northeast, Twin One Glacier on the southeast, and Hartzell Glacier to the south. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into Joffre Creek and Twin One Creek, both tributaries of the Lillooet River.
The first ascent of the mountain was made on August 18, 1957, by Dick Chambers, Joe Hutton, Roy Mason, Paddy Sherman, and Cyril Scott, who were members of the British Columbia Mountaineering Club. The mountain's name honors Tom Matier, an early well-known prospector in the area. Its name was officially adopted on April 21, 1966, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.
There's a difficult alpine trail (T6) called Northwest Face Route leading to the summit.
