Rocher Rond, Mountain summit in Drôme, France
Rocher Rond is a mountain summit in the Vercors Regional Natural Park of the French Alps, rising to 2454 meters in elevation. It stands as the highest point within this protected park area.
The summit formed during the Santonian geological period through ancient processes that shaped the Alps. The surrounding mountains display distinct rock layers from earlier Barremian and Neocomian times.
This summit holds meaning for local climbers who maintain routes connecting it to neighboring peaks through the high mountains. The paths reflect how people from the region use the terrain for mountain pursuits.
Heavy snow covers the eastern slope from December through March, making winter sports possible during these months. Visitors should prepare for alpine conditions and bring appropriate gear for mountain weather.
The peak straddles the border between two communes, Lus-la-Croix-Haute and Agnières-en-Dévoluy. Its western cliffs overlook Lac du Lauzon, creating dramatic views of the water below.
