This chapel is located in the Cruet hamlet, within walking distance of the Corbier resort centre. It cannot be visited, but you can still see it from the outside. 1627: Foundation and construction of the Chapelle du Cruet, which was renamed Notre-Dame de la Consolation, then Notre-Dame de la Pitié in 1771, to take on its current name of Sainte Philomène. In 1630, a plague epidemic. In 1759: 20 families lived in Cruet, i.e. 60 inhabitants. 1876: Fire. Only 2 houses were spared. 1881: Another fire. Inside the chapel, there is a 17th century tithe chest used to pay the tithe, a tax established for the benefit of the Catholic Church and officially recognised in 779, under Charlemagne. The tithe was levied on crops and livestock. All property, whether that of nobles, commoners or even the personal property of ecclesiastics, was subject to tithing. Collection of the tithe was entrusted to a farmer. As a general rule, 1/4 of the tithe went to the bishopric and the remaining 3/4 to the parish. Peasants had to "offer" a tenth of their harvest, while artisans had to "offer" a tenth of their production. The tabernacle was dug into the wall of the chapel. Outside, the font.

The chapel and its surroundings are a good example of the mountain environment. The chapel was first known as the St Roch chapel. Built in a non-decent manner in 1600, it was rebuilt in 1661. Renovated in 1787, 2 years later £67 were spent to plug holes, bleach the chapel inside and build four columns outside to prevent from disrepair. Nevertheless, 60 years later despite all the care, the chapel was falling into ruins. Therefore, a decision was taken to build a new chapel. Everyone participated in its construction depending on their own means. The chapel was achieved, though, due to financial problems less than 6 years later on September 1851. It was then inaugurated on October 20th, 1851. Nowadays, the chapel is in a very bad state and its conservation is crucial to keep this wonderful Savoy landscape alive.

Relic of the neolithic era, this place is visible from the Foncouverte plaza.

Also known as Chapelle Rose, it was built in 1565 in the wake of a plague epidemic, and restored in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is the oldest chapel in Jarrier. Its pink facades, its position (against the backdrop of the Aiguilles d'Arves) and its surprising location (with its back to the valley, due to the plague) make it a unique building. The interior features two large cross-vaulted bays, painted by Charles Prarioz around 1860. A Baroque altarpiece with columns frames a painting of the Virgin Mary. The chapel is dedicated to St. Roch, a pilgrim (1350-1380), and to St. Sebastian, a Roman officer martyred in 288, both reputed to be anti-plague saints. St Roch's chapel is also known as the pink chapel, because its color comes from a red clay used as a wall coating called "gria" in Maurien dialect. We can see St Roch's chapel, situated on an impressive promontory.

Jarrier's highest chapel, on the Chambeaux mountain pasture. The first chapel was built in 1864, but was unfortunately swept away by a violent storm in 1935. The chapel was rebuilt in 1941 thanks to the determination of parishioners who were very attached to this place of prayer. It overlooks the mountain pastures and was used as a place of prayer by the Alpagistes. Dedicated to the Virgin Mary and the Immaculate Conception, mass is celebrated every year on the second Sunday in September.
