Breuil-Cervinia

THE OLD CHAPEL IN BREUIL - it existed as early as 1759, however it was renovated in 1869 and extended in 1925; it is dedicated to Our Lady of the Hermits and of Snow. Inside, it hosts a wooden, Baroque altar from the eighteenth century with four, small twisted columns. The sculpture of Our Lady comes from the Sanctuary of Notre Dame des Hermites - Einsiedeln (Zurich), a place in which the elderly inhabitants of Valtournenche would go on pilgrimage.
