Notre-Dame des Vernettes, Mountain sanctuary in Peisey-Nancroix, France
The Notre-Dame des Vernettes sanctuary stands at 1800 meters elevation and includes a Marian sanctuary, reception house, oratory chapel near a spring, and stations of the cross.
The sanctuary complex was built between 1720 and 1777, with the main chapel constructed from 1722 to 1742, and the bell tower added in 1777.
The interior features polychrome wooden statues and wall paintings by Luca Valentino from 1733, representing the Savoyard baroque architectural style.
The sanctuary remains open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM throughout the year, with picnic tables and public restrooms available during summer months.
Five pilgrimage paths marked with ancient crosses lead to the sanctuary, which receives regular visits from both hikers and skiers throughout all seasons.
