The Dranse de Bellevaux (also called Brevon ) is a mountain river in France that runs in the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region . It rises near the Roc d'Enfer (2243 m), in the municipality of Bellevaux . First it flows a few kilometers through the forest of Pététoz to the small village of La Chèvrerie , where it forms the small lake Lac de Vallon , which was created by a landslide in 1943 . The river initially drains to the northwest, but then turns to the northeast and flows into the Dranse as a left tributary after 22 kilometers at Bioge , in the municipality of La Vernaz .
