Description

The hamlet of Chavière looks out over the Arc valley. Turn your back perpendicular to the slope to protect yourself from avalanches. Against the snow, turns, ditches and embankments complement each other but there soon might be not much to protect, because the hamlet of Chavière, one of the most beautiful of the Vanoise massif and the most representative of alpine hamlets, has been abandoned for several years and is on the brink of ruin. Roofs and walls are at risk of collapse. The town of Termignon and the Vanoise National Park have been trying for several years to convince the many co-owners of this heritage of the merits of a restoration project but it has so far been in vain. Everything here testifies to the density of the past: the stones and rocks in the foreground are the remnants of the low walls that bordered the old mule track of the Col de la Vanoise, an old salt and cheese road, which links Entre-Deux-Eaux and Pralognan-la-Vanoise.
