Overview

Accueil » Stations » Le Collet d’Allevard

Le Collet d’Allevard, located at 1,450m altitude between Grenoble and Chambéry, is one of the most accessible resorts in the Belledonne massif. It overlooks the Grésivaudan valley and a grandiose setting in both summer and winter. With its human-scale ski area (35km of slopes) and family, relaxed-skiing focus, it attracts a loyal local clientele. It’s also one of the largest night-skiing resorts in Europe, with 10 floodlit slopes on certain evenings. In summer, it offers a natural playground, between mountain biking, paragliding and ridge trails. Proximity, simplicity, wooded setting and open views over Chartreuse, Bauges and Mont-Blanc make Le Collet a chameleon-like, family resort, remaining much more affordable than many Alps resorts.

Overview of Le Collet d’Allevard

Le Collet consists of three main sectors: Super Collet (1,600 m), the heart of the ski area; Le Collet 1450, the main accommodation and services zone; and Prerond, lower down, accessible by car or shuttle. The architecture is typical of resorts created in the 1970s, with compact and functional residences. However, the atmosphere is warm and well-maintained. The ski area base is clear, the lifts easily accessible and the layout remains legible for families. In summer, the spaces open onto fir forests and alpine meadows, with well-marked walking trails. A well-organised, compact resort with a spectacular panorama over the Gresivaudan valley.

    When to visit

    Le Collet d’Allevard in summer

    In summer, Le Collet becomes a high-altitude nature retreat, far from the valley heat. The resort focuses on hiking, trail running, mountain biking and the great outdoors. Marked routes allow you to reach the Plagnes summit, the Col de Clarans and two Belledonne refuges. Families enjoy easy trails, the proximity of lakes (notably the Lac d’Allevard) and nature activities. A tree-top adventure course, a zip-line and orienteering routes are available for children directly in the resort. The proximity to Allevard is a real bonus, with its thermal spa, swimming lake and fitness trail. Up top, the panorama over the Chartreuse, Mont Blanc and the Bauges adds relief to every outing.

    Le Collet d’Allevard in winter

    In winter, Le Collet d’Allevard attracts a local and family clientele thanks to its simple but effective alpine ski area and excellent value for money. Skiing is available across 35 km of runs between 1,450 and 2,100 m altitude, with varied routes, a few technical zones and — most uniquely — 10 runs open at night, a rare asset that gives the ski area a second life on certain evenings. The beginner area is well equipped and the ski school is well regarded for its teaching approach. Non-skiers can snowshoe on marked routes or try tobogganing and snake gliss in the evening. Events (torchlit descents, children’s shows, music skiing) punctuate the season. Come here for the pleasure of simple skiing at gentle prices, with exceptional views and the unique experience of skiing under the stars.
