Notre-Dame de la Gorge

Highlight • Historical Site

The original Church of Notre Dame de la Gorge was built in the 13th century. Painted in pink, this pretty building marked the entrance to the high mountain. The travelers of old prayed here before leaving the valley that their journey would be safe.

Nant Borrant Mountain Refuge

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This is a typical mountain chalet dating back to the nineteenth century. It was a mountain hotel until 1976, later with the development of the Tour du Mont Blanc it became a refuge. You can have lunch on the wonderful terrace in the structure.

The Pater Stone

Highlight • Other

Very little is known today about the reason for this inscription and this place, except that it is surmounted by an iron cross, which replaced an old oratory, probably destroyed in 1827. As for the date of 1795, it could refer to the troubles of the revolutionary period: the church of the Gorge was occupied by the troops, and it is said that the faithful went up to pray in secret on this famous stone...
