Grand Charnier d'Allemond, Mountain peak in Belledonne range, France.
Grand Charnier d'Allemond is a summit in the Belledonne range in Isère, reaching 2,842 metres. Its upper slope holds a broad snowfield, with a narrower snow patch lower on the right, both set between ridges of dark grey rock. Below, pale grey slabs and boulders form a base above dark blue water, with sparse green vegetation among the lower rocks.
The summit is known as the Grande Lance d'Allemont, a 2,842 m peak in the Belledonne range of the Isère department. The sources record no founding date or named event; its history is the geological one of Belledonne, a crystalline massif of the external Alps built during Alpine mountain building.
The summit is known as the Grand Charnier d'Allemond, while the source gives its name as the Grande Lance d'Allemont, in the Belledonne range of the Isère department. The name charnier refers to a rocky, bone-strewn slope, a reminder of the massif's pastoral past.
Climbing the summit requires proper mountaineering equipment and good physical condition due to technical difficulty. Visitors should prepare for changing weather conditions and demanding terrain.
