  Le Hameau
by Tripack
 
 


Do not miss to visit the pleasant Hameau (=Hamlet) de Verbier. This harmonious and coherent complex was imagined by PierreDorsaz in order to honour the old cultural alpine heritage, resulting from the relationship of the man with the ground which nourishes it. An alpine museum, a chapel, the Odéon Square with its sundial fountain, the bronze bull and modern houses built of stone and wood in the old fashioned way.

The chapel of "Le Hameau" has stained-glass windows designed by master glassworkers from l'Ecole Française in Rheims and portray a scene from nature. An ideal venue for weddings and christenings.

The Alpine museum dipslays more than 3000 artefacts illustrate the habitat, the work and the culture of the Alpine area from the years 1800 to our days.

Directions: Close to Savoleyres cable car station and the golf.
