Sanctuary of La Salette

By bike it's a beautiful climb without too many people (worth seeing in summer anyway) with superb open landscapes

Sanctuary of Our Lady of La Salette

Highlight • Religious Site

La Salette in the French Alps is an important Marian sanctuary, even if this - rather inconspicuous - place is far from the level of popularity of other European pilgrimage sites in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary - such as Lourdes in the French Pyrenees, Fatima in Portugal or Altötting in Germany ( Bavaria) – has obtained. As a result, it is much quieter here for pilgrims, because significantly fewer visitors visit this sanctuary.

Be careful, the climb from the pass is on a path that has become invisible: we do the "boar"...
