Abstract: The relationship between mountain permafrost and climate is still relatively unknown. The implications of zonation (latitude, continentality), the various climatic parameters (MAAT; freezing and thawing indices; basal snow temperature, BTS; solar radiation; and surface heat balance) and climate change are outlined for mountain permafrost. Some research priorities are suggested. Les relations unissant le pergélisol de montagne et le climat sont encore mal connues. Les implications de la zonation (latitude, continentalité), celles des différents paramètres climatiques (température annuelle moyenne de l'air, indices de gel et de dégel, température à la base de la neige, radiation solaire et calcul de la chaleur conservée à la surface) et enfin celles des changements climatiques sont soulignées pour le pergélisol de montagne. Quelques recherches prioritaires sont suggérées.
