Allemond village > le Clot - Hiking
Description
A lovely circular walk in the upper part of Allemond, starting in the old village and continuing to the hamlet of Le Clôt. The route climbs gradually through a pretty forest, with a clearer view in spring.
From the church, take the main road past the War Memorial.
Go about 100 metres down the road until you come to a hairpin bend, the start of the Chemin de Saint Jean. Follow the signs to "Tour du Clôt" and the red markings. After about 2 km, in a clearing, go up to the right through woods (oaks, beeches and holly trees). Walk through the hamlet of Le Clôt (wash house and old houses).
Take the path going back down to Allemont, as far as the Crêt Joré. Join the road and go back down to the church on the Chemin de La Jorre.

Points of interest
Eglise d'Allemond
The church as it stands today celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1987. The former, smaller church however was renovated and extended in 1872, yet 10 years later, the building became was considered dangerous and needed to be rebuilt.The current church has undergone many changes, including a new bell tower, a large clock, a new bell-tower roof, outside walls and the replacement and protection of the stained-glass windows. In 2002, the bell tower was changed as a number of inhabitants wanted to read the clock face from afar and from all sides. The old clock was therefore replaced by an electric, automatic system with 4 huge luminous clock faces. The correct time can now be seen from all four points of the compass, both day and night!
Lac du Verney
The Lac du Verney, between Belldonne and the Grandes Rousses, provides a range of watersports in the summer and is the perfect place to enjoy a picnic with family and friends. It is also the starting point for a lovely walk.The Lac du Verney lake is a 75 ha lake located at an altitude of 725 metres and of variable depth. The dam, which was built between 1979 and 1984, is a hydro-electric power station with its own museum open to the public. Follow the left-hand bank preferably and at the end, follow the road for around 500m, before turning left towards Villaret. Swimming is not allowed.
