Le Reposoir

Le Reposoir has served as a monastic settlement in Haute-Savoie since the 12th century. Set in an Alpine valley beneath the Aravis range, the commune lies on the approach to the Col de la Colombière, a pass connecting the Cluses area with Le Grand-Bornand. Its defining monument is the Chartreuse du Reposoir, a Carthusian monastery founded in 1151 by Aymon de Faucigny; its history shaped the settlement that developed nearby. Mountain roads and paths link the village with the wider country of the Bornes massif. Continue with other webcams from the area to see how this part of Haute-Savoie connects across the Aravis.
