Chapelle Notre-Dame-des-Anges d'Orelle, Mountain chapel in Orelle, France

The Notre-Dame-des-Anges chapel sits on the Arcelin hill at 2052 meters elevation and overlooks the Maurienne valley and surrounding mountains. The building is modest in size with a simple structure that blends into the Alpine landscape.

Antoine Charvoz built the smaller chapel Sainte-Marguerite on this hillside on 9 August 1671; his son Louis confirmed the family's obligations on 13 August 1737, and in 1859 the rights passed to the parish of Bonvillard-sur-Orelle. The present Notre-Dame-des-Anges chapel was built higher up and blessed by civil and religious authorities on 20 July 1869, a date cut into a stone at its rear. The commune of Orelle later restored the exterior and repainted the interior in August 2005.

The chapel's name refers to the Virgin Mary as Queen of the Angels in Catholic teaching, while locals also call it the Arcelin chapel after the hill's lieu-dit, a diminutive of arcelle for a small high-altitude hamlet. Each August, Orelle Patrimoine and the Saint-Michel-en-Maurienne parish hold a Mass here.

Access is by a forest trail that is easy to walk during summer months or via ski slopes in winter when the local ski area is operating. The best visiting period is from June to September when the path is snow-free.

A three-metre metal cross painted white stands above the valley just south of the chapel. The building itself is 20 metres long and 5 metres high, with a bronze bell frame carrying one bell and an engraved cross. A dressed stone at the rear bears the year 1869.
