The climb from the French side was very nice, not too long and not too steep. The Italian side was another matter.

As an commemorative plaque on the chapel wall explains, the village of Grand Croix is the only "original" village not to have been submerged by the lake. Unfortunately, of the historic village, once a stop for the Ferrera carriers and a station on the Fell railway, only ruins remain: the place is abandoned, with the only human activity being the nearby hotel-restaurant. The chapel, however, is kept in good condition. It is in fact a ghost village, with that grim and slightly unsettling atmosphere of these abandoned places. Not far from the National road, it is worth a detour. You can also get there by descending from the dirt road that starts from the West end of the dam.
