Quiet walk from Col de Joly

Originally, there was a Romanesque chapel in the hamlet of Roselend. It was dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene. A 13th-century document mentions a chapel that could be this one. More precise sources indicate that the bell was cast in 1608 or that donations were made in 1710, 1757, and 1760. In 1794, it hosted four émigré priests from the valley for their first mass after their return from exile, including the future Archbishop of Chambéry, Antoine Martinet. Submerged when the dam was filled on May 6, 1960, a chapel was rebuilt two years later near the road overlooking the lake, in a more modern style.

Intersection point Roselend Chapel Altitude 1609m

One of the most beautiful sites in the Alps, with multiple possibilities for hiking and cycling.

Dug in the 1930s for a road project... abandoned.

Splendid view towards Lake Roselend and the Cormet road. The path around the Rocher du Vent to the northwest is passable, but partially collapsed in its first few meters.

The crossing (about 200 meters) will allow you to enjoy a view of Lake Roselend, and to go around the Rocher du Vent on its northwest face.

Whether on foot or after the via ferrata, take this tunnel initially dug to let the cows pass!
