History
Several chapels are scattered throughout the villages and hamlets of Montagny. The Notre-Dame-de-la-Visitation Chapel is located in the hamlet of La Thuile and had already been built under the name Notre-Dame-des-Grâces before the pastoral visit of 1633. Its altarpiece is Baroque and features gilding and chubby-cheeked angel figures.
The Saint Bon Chapel in the village of La Roche was built in 1650 and is dedicated to Saint Bon. Its altarpiece depicts Saint Bon together with Francis de Sales and Blessed Amadeus of Savoy; the Virgin Mary is depicted above them. The Saint-Roch Chapel in the village of Le Villard was built shortly before the pastoral visit of 1633. Its altarpiece depicts Notre-Dame de Pitié, Saint John the Evangelist, Saint Roch and Saint Apollonia.
The Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Chapel was built in 1750 following a vow and rebuilt closer to the villages in 1891.
Traditions
The Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Chapel overlooks the entire valley and is located at the junction of the road to Le Villard and the road leading uphill from the village centre towards Moranche. It is open every day all year round. The pilgrimage to Notre-Dame-des-Neiges on 15 August continues to take place.
