Presentation

Visit the upper chapel, the part dedicated to Catholic worship, which exudes a very different atmosphere, with large windows letting in the sunlight.
Meet at Chamrousse 1750 - Roche Béranger.

Nestled at the back is a rather rough granite altar (a block of stone from the Drac, one of the tributaries of the Isère river and a sub-tributary of the Rhône), which is that of the former Recoin chapel, here enhanced as part of heritage conservation.
It's a pleasant place, even for atheists, as it blends into nature with its upward-sliding French windows to take advantage of the outdoor seating (around 500 seats inside and 500 unfinished outside). It's a place full of serenity and conducive to meditation, not too cold and dark thanks to its large windows; everything is round and more organic, as if imbued with a feminine sacredness.

It was artist Pierre Székely and his wife Vera who worked here, with the historic altar, triangular seat and tabernacle carved with a blowtorch. He is also behind the totem poles that adorn Bachat Bouloud in Chamrousse 1700, a former children's vacation village built in the 60s. Comprising 8 chalets each with its own totem pole, only 3 remain, including the colorful and monumental "Seated Angel".
Pioneering mountain architect Laurent Chappis was also responsible for the Bachat-Bouloud mountain center for young people and the urbanization of Roche Béranger in Chamrousse from 1959 to 1968.
Another relic of Chamrousse's history is a chasuble bearing the effigy of the 1968 Olympic Games, worn by the priest during mass (but not visible the rest of the time).

Free of charge.
