Chapelle Notre-Dame-des-Anges d'Orelle, Mountain chapel in Orelle, France
The Notre-Dame-des-Anges chapel stands at 2052 meters altitude on Arcelin hill, offering views of the Maurienne valley and surrounding mountains.
The religious site originated in 1671 with the construction of Saint Margaret chapel, while the current Notre-Dame-des-Anges structure received its blessing in 1869.
The chapel follows Savoyard baroque architecture principles and contains interior paintings that were completely renewed during the 2005 restoration project.
Visitors can reach the chapel through a forest trail during summer months or by skiing during winter season when the Orelle ski area operates.
The building includes an orientation table that helps visitors identify the numerous mountain peaks visible from its elevated position in the French Alps.
