Le Collet d'Allevard is a small Belledonne family resort at 1,450 m, perched above the thermal town of Allevard-les-Bains and only forty-five minutes from Grenoble. The ski area is modest and mostly intermediate, but the night-skiing sessions a few evenings a week give it a particular rhythm. The valley spa downstairs adds a soak-and-ski option that the big alpine resorts rarely match.

Le Collet d'Allevard is a stand-alone resort village built around the lift base, so true ski-in/ski-out is the default for properties on the front-snow line. Hotels in Allevard-les-Bains down in the valley sit twelve kilometres and twenty minutes by mountain road from the lifts.
The local ski area covers 35 km on 12 lifts, peaking at 2,100 m on the Super-Collet plateau. The piste mix is balanced: twelve greens for first-week skiers, twelve blues for cruising, eight reds for working on technique and three blacks for testing it. Snow holds reasonably well thanks to the north-facing slopes, and the area runs a real night-skiing programme on selected weekday evenings. The village above the lift base is purpose-built and unspectacular, but compact and convenient for families with young children. The deep pull is the combination with Allevard-les-Bains in the valley below: a working thermal town since the nineteenth century, with hot mineral waters at 22 degrees and a quiet bourgeois centre. After-ski here can mean a long soak instead of a beer. Grenoble is close enough that day-trippers crowd the slopes on sunny Saturdays.
