I found this climb after we 'm driven by car for a hike to Lac de Belledonne. The climb starts in Allemond and winds through the village dstuck against the mountain. Then you climb further through the forest and it gets quieter and quieter, just birds and waterfalls. Here and there you have a nice view across the valley towards Oz, Sardonne and Alpe d,Huez.

I found this climb after we 'm driven by car for a hike to Lac de Belledonne.
The climb starts in Allemond and winds through the village dstuck against the mountain. Then you climb further through the forest and it gets quieter and quieter, just birds and waterfalls. Here and there you have a nice view across the valley towards Oz, Sardonne and Alpe d,Huez. You weather you've reached the end when the road stops. This is also the start of the walk to Lac de Belledonne.
This climb is very gentle and personally I like m better than the climb to Oz station which is on the other side of the valley.

Deze beklimming vond ik nadat we 'm met de auto hadden gereden voor een wandeling naar Lac de Belledonne.
De beklimming begint in Allemond en slingert door het dorpje heen dst tegen de berg aan geplakt is. Daarna klim je verder door het bos en wordt het steeds stiller, alleen nog vogels en watervalletjes. Hier en daar heb je een mooi doorkijkje over het dal richting Oz, Sardonne en Alpe d,Huez. Je weer dat je het eind bereikt hebt als de weg ophoudt. Dit is ook het begin van de wandeling naar Lac de Belledonne.
Deze beklimming is heel rustig en persoonlijk vind ik m mooier dan de klim naar Oz station die aan de andere kant van het dal ligt.
