Pointe Dzérat, Mountain summit in Le Reposoir, France.
Pointe Dzérat is a 2,278-metre summit in the Bargy range, above the Col de la Colombière to the south and the Combe Sauvage to the north. Its upper part is a jagged grey rock ridge with three dark vertical clefts near the right side of the crest; snow fills the gullies and lower slopes, where small coniferous trees grow on the left flank. The summit is not accessible by hiking, but several climbing routes run up its south flank below the top.
The summit formed during Alpine mountain-building millions of years ago, which shaped its characteristic ridge structure. This geological process affected the entire Bornes-Aravis mountain group.
The summit's south flank, just below the top, holds several climbing routes; the mountain is not reachable by hiking trails. The name links the point to the Bargy range, where it stands between the Col de la Colombière to the south and the Combe Sauvage to the north. It is also called the eastern point of the Midi.
The summit is not reachable by hiking; the only ways up are the climbing routes on the south flank below the top.
