Notre Dame de la Guerison sanctuary, Mountain shrine in Courmayeur, Italy

The Notre Dame de la Guerison sanctuary stands at the base of Mont Chétif, featuring frescoed walls and three oil paintings by Giuseppe Stornone.

Built in 1868 after a previous structure from 1792 was destroyed, the sanctuary replaced an ancient site known as Berrier dating back to 1537.

The sanctuary walls display numerous votive offerings from climbers who faced dangers on Mont Blanc, including a silver model of the Stella Polare ship.

The sanctuary remains open to visitors from May through November, with access available by car through the Val Veny road in Courmayeur.

Both Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI selected this sanctuary as a spiritual destination during their stays in the Aosta Valley.
