Between the lake of Serre-Ponçon and Pouzenc summit (2898 m), the town of Baratier covers 1490 ha. The old village is located 870 m along the impetuous torrent of Vachères. Subdivisions have emerged over the last thirty years, to the west of the village. Its inhabitants are called Baratons and Baratonnes. A 4 km from Embrun and nearby ski resorts and winter Orres Crévoux, Baratier has retained its old face. The warmth and friendliness of its inhabitants offered to visitors Baratier illustrate the motto "poor but proud and good heart." A rich associational life rhythm of local life. Indeed, throughout the year, local festivals, concerts, parties, outings and shows enliven the village.
