This magnificent village used to be lived in all year round. It had its own primary school downhill from the chapel.

Maximum altitude: 1100m

The descent route is more difficult than the ascent route. In case of heavy snow or poor weather, it is recommended to return by the same route as that taken on the climb.
The Chantemerle Chapel in Samoëns was built in 1684. It was placed under the protection of Saint-François de Sales. This popular saint in Savoy is often invoked as a multi-talented thaumaturge.
This village was once inhabited all year round. We can find on many farms stone lintels, testimonies of the presence of "Kegnes and Frahans" (masons and stonemasons). Its chapel (1684) is dedicated to Saint François de Sales.
