Park at Allemont swimming-pool (piscine).
This features a fine, steady climb opposite the majestic Grandes Rousses massif, which can be admired in its entirety. The first snowfalls of the winter make for an unforgettable sight. This route also features a particularly pleasant descent.
From the swimming pool, ride to the Verney dam. Follow the Allemont-le-Haut road and then turn off towards La Rivoire, Le Clot and La Traverse, the last solitary hamlet on the steep foothills of the Belledonne. The road is narrow, steep, and little-used. Although paved, is completely in the MTB spirit.
The end of the road turns into a track. 300m afterwards, on the right, a signpost points to ‘Les Chazeaux – Allemont par la Combe’. Before following this, it’s worth taking a short detour 2km further along the original track to a beautiful view point over the Grandes Rousses massif. The ride down to Coteyssart is a pleasant series of switchbacks, with some natural banking, through a lovely forest.
At La Combe, follow the narrow GR 549 to Le Villaret. Cross the D43 to join the path which descends to the dyke at Verney lake. This path offers a pleasant ride alongside the lake to the dam.
