Snowshoeing itinerary : La Trace des Chapelles

Map ref. :

The loop leads to the discovery of the little chapels that have watched over Bessans for centuries. Saint-Antoine, set in its snowy setting, and Saint-Claude, discreet and luminous, mark out the route like two spiritual refuges in the heart of winter.

Saint-Claude was invoked to guard against the harmful effects of frosts due to late snowfalls.

The Saint-Antoine Chapel, a listed monument, dates from the 16th century. The exterior frescoes represent the procession of Vices and Virtues as well as Saint-Antoine and characters relating to its construction.
