The Baye de Clarens is an approximately 8 km long torrent in the Riviera-Pays-d'Enhaut district in the canton of Vaud in Switzerland .
The Baye de Clarens rises above the hamlet of Bains-de-l'Alliaz in the area of the municipality of Blonay at an altitude of about 1205 m above sea level. M. Then it flows southward through a forested valley and receives several small streams, on the eastern slopes of Les Pléiades ( 1,360 m above sea level. M. ) and on the western slopes of Le Folly ( 1730 m above sea level. M. spring).
From here it forms the border between Blonay and Montreux . At Villard-sur-Chamby (Montreux) it takes up the approximately 3.5 kilometers long Avessan torrent and now flows in a westerly direction. Here it takes on streams that arise on the southern slope of Les Pléiades. Shortly before Blonay she makes an arc and now enters the area of the city of Montreux. From now on it flows in a southerly direction until it flows into Lake Geneva a little later at ( 372 m above sea level ) at Clarens . Here it forms a small alluvial cone.
