Rocher de l'Yret, Mountain summit in Hautes-Alpes, France.
Rocher de l'Yret is a summit of 2,830 metres on the edge of Écrins National Park, between Le Monêtier-les-Bains and Vallouise-Pelvoux in the Hautes-Alpes. Its upper face is black and charcoal-grey fractured rock, cut by sharp ridges and deep vertical fissures, with a band of paler grey rock running down the centre. Loose dark scree covers the lower slopes, and two patches of snow or ice remain on the flanks.
