The first objective is the Col d'Arves, where benches and an orientation table have been thoughtfully installed. We haven't yet left civilisation, but we can already contemplate a magnificent landscape. As we continue on our way, we find ourselves in an alpine atmosphere. The animals that come to feast on the high-altitude grass don't seem to be bothered by the steep incline and stroll leisurely from flower to flower. But isn't that a goat you see over there? No, it's its cousin the chamois, which also roams the grassy slopes. The summit offers a fantastic view of the Aiguilles d'Arves, the Etendard and the Grand Agnelin... But the show isn't over yet. On the way down, what a surprise to see these strange pointed caps! These are the famous fairy chimneys, magical aerial stone sculptures that dot the Combe Génin.

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.

Relic of the neolithic era, this place is visible from the Foncouverte plaza. At the slope located near La Chapelle des Villards, you can see a semi-circle consisting of twelve big free standing and semi-buried stones. As it is facing south, this magnificent monument is said to be used as a calendar or a sundial.

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.

This bell tower soars upwards towards the Aiguilles d'Arves, guiding you towards a treasure of the Maurienne Baroque. The 17th century church of Montrond, with the famous Aiguilles d'Arves in the background, is certainly one of the most photographed sites in the Maurienne. It was restored at the end of the 1990s. Completely rebuilt in 1674, Saint Nicolas Church has a single nave with a cupola over the choir. The recently restored statues from the rood beam have been hung in the choir. Borrelin and Symond made the main altarpiece in a single piece, and Solomonic columns frame a painting by Dufour (1690) representing the Virgin, Saint Nicholas and Saint Barthelemy. The Rosary altarpiece has fifteen medallions including a 17th century painting of Mary, St Dominic and St Catherine of Siena. In 1689, Jomard created the altarpiece painting of St Anthony and St Bernard des Alpes. Explore the virtual tour here: drone-de-regard.fr/vr/facim/73_montrond.html

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.
