Allevard

Allevard has served as a thermal spa and ironworking centre in the Belledonne range since the 19th century. The town occupies the Bréda valley, with the wooded lower slopes of Belledonne rising above its streets and high mountain terrain close at hand. Its thermal establishment uses mineral water long associated with respiratory and rheumatological treatments, while the town’s industrial identity grew from local ironworking. The former Forges d’Allevard recall that this was not merely a resort: metal production shaped the valley for generations. In winter, the nearby Le Collet d’Allevard ski area extends the town’s mountain connections.
