In front of the chapel are well-preserved old graves, and the crosses of others are beautifully placed on the walls. It's worth taking a break here to admire the view and the old cemetery. Unfortunately, the chapel isn't always open.

The original Marian shrine "La Salette", which is referred to here, is located in the French Alps (Arrondissement of Grenoble) and is an important Marian shrine, even if it has nowhere near the level of fame of other places of pilgrimage in honor of the Mother of God - such as Lourdes in the French Pyrenees or Fatima in Portugal. The hiking highlight “La Salette” can be found on komoot under the following link: https://www.komoot.de/highlight/1861054

This part in the forest is superb. It is not very technical and is done very well on a gravel bike.

The chapel of La Salette dates from the 11th century. Located in a valley, bordering meadows and orchards, it is the starting point for many hikes. Here, you meet the pilgrims of Santiago de Compostela.
