Historical projections

The Temple de la Nature is a historic building constructed in 1795 at Montenvers, above Chamonix, to welcome travelers admiring the Mer de Glace. Designed by Marc-Théodore Bourrit, it was one of the first mountain refuges in the Alps, and welcomed famous writers such as Victor Hugo and Chateaubriand. Octagonal in shape, it has undergone several restorations, the most recent in 2022. It is an important testimony to the beginnings of mountain tourism.

Today, it has been transformed into a projection room where you can learn more about its history.
