Le Collet d'Allevard is a ski resort in the Belledonne range of the French Alps, located in the department of Isère in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, approximately 11.5 km (7.1 mi) from Allevard. The ski area extends over the communes of Allevard and La Chapelle-du-Bard. The resort was created in 1955 on former communal pastures and served by a new road following the route of the old forest road.
