Mont Barral, Mountain summit in French Alps, France.

Mont Barral rises to 1,977 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes and rocky outcrops that form part of the regional mountain landscape.

The mountain served as a natural boundary marker between the Isère and Drôme departments, marked by the construction of a tunnel at its base.

Local shepherds maintain traditional grazing practices on Mont Barral's slopes, where Pyrenean mountain dogs guard the sheep herds during summer months.

A circular hiking trail extends 6 kilometers to the summit, requiring approximately 2.5 hours to complete with proper hiking equipment and provisions.

The summit provides clear views of the Dévoluy massif, including direct sightlines to both the Grand Ferrand and the Aiguilles de Lus peaks.
