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.

The famous little red train takes passengers from Chamonix (1035 m) to the Montenvers station (1913 m) in 20 minutes. On arrival, the view of the Mer de Glace is breathtaking, bearing witness to the effects of climate change.
