Notre Dame des Vernettes chapel

Alpine shrine built at 1816 m altitude, near a source to the miraculous virtues, Our Lady of The Vernettes is a very cherished place to the hearts of the people of the Valley.Since 300 years. In a mountain setting of exception, more and more visitors are delighted by the spirit of the place. A miraculous cure (1702) has justified, in the early 18th century, the building, near the source, of an oratory dedicated to Our Lady of Mercy, chief of lepers. This oratory has disappeared in an avalanche. He was replaced by the small chapel below, at the end of a nice cross and near the fountain. From 1720, building a larger sanctuary for pilgrims has been decided. The structural work was completed in 5 years.The interior decoration took the three decades following. In 1766 was decided the construction of the reception house, abutting the church. In 1777 a second tower was built. The construction and initial development took place over nearly 80 years. From restoration to restoration during 200 years, the sanctuary from The Vernettes has kept the appearance that it had at the beginning. A pilgrimage is organized every July 16. The sanctuary is classified as a historical monument. The town of Peisey-Nancroix has undertaken the restoration of interiors in 2008. After 2 years of work, the chapel will be open again to visitors. Open everyday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Guided tours with a FACIM lecturer on summer 2020. Dates available soon.

Guidebook with maps/step-by-step

Follow the road south from the Vanoise Express at Plan-Peisey towards Vieux Plan. After the village, take the first rising bend on the left. Continue towards Les Vernettes and take the first marked path on the left. At the end of the forest, follow the ridge between the forest and the mountain pastures, to the right of the chairlifts, which brings you closer to the Aiguille Rousse. A few aerial steps to join the stony corridor to the pass (2 389 m) hidden on the left of the Aiguille Rousse. Finally, a good climb (another stony aerial step) to reach the summit of the Aiguille Grive, culminating at 2,733 metres and offering a magnificent panoramic view, with an orientation table!
Take the same path on the way back, at least as far as the Rey plateau, from where you can return to the resort by several safe paths.
