Wonderful place, unforgettable memories. Peaceful and quiet place for prayer and to get away from hustle and bustle of everyday life. I recommend this place to people who are not afraid of heights and with great driving skills because the hill is thrilling

Took a new year's hike there on January 1st. The views are most impresive. But be sure to bring your own water, the sanctuary is not always open .

A very great experience, an beautiful spot and some very nice people. I very recommend. Only problem is the food, it is quite expensive for the quality of the meal proposed.

Heaven on Earth. What a beautiful retreat to be at the site where our Lady appeared to two innocent children. The setting in the mountains, the beautiful basilica, the wonderful volunteers, the kind sisters. The best spiritual journey I ever made.

La Salette, a small town of 200 people about 50 miles south of Grenoble, was the site of reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary in 1846. The Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette remains a minor place of pilgrimage today. The shrine of La Salette is located in a high alpine pasture at an altitude of about 6,000 feet, about 9 miles from the nearest town. Now easily accessible by car, bus, and taxi, the shrine operates a hospitality service with a range of accommodations. The mountain scenery around the shrine is spectacular and it is surrounded by a network of walking trails, making La Salette an ideal place for spiritual retreats and day hikes. The Basilica of Our Lady of La Salette was begun in 1852, completed in 1865, and designated a basilica in 1879. It is a large, rather austere church, with a facade flanked by two strong towers. Inside, the basilica's nave is bordered by two rows of Byzantine columns supporting the Romanesque vaulted ceilings. A mosaic of Christ crowns the apse. The transept has three medallions representing the stages of the apparition (the weeping, the message, and the departure). The basilica also includes a small museum documenting the history of La Salette. Outside the basilica, pilgrims can take a walking path leading to the apparition site, the \Valley of the Apparition.\ Bronze statues erected in 1864 depict the three stages of the apparition.
