This idyllic and magical place, located in the region of Isérables, brings calm and serenity in an unspoiled natural setting. Throughout the year, this surprisingly large expanse of land on the edge of the forest is the perfect place for a picnic or a well deserved break in the sun !
The Pra Da Dzeu pasture is located in a large clearing and has been used for centuries as summer grazing for the cattle from Nendaz and Isérables. The Bisse de Saxon, situated a few metres above this meadow, provided water for the cattle.
Every year, on the main plateau, a shallow natural pond is formed when the snow melts.Ski de randonnée Pause Pra Da Dzeu 2019 (Etienne Bornet)Pra da Dzeu hiver Elodie Moos 2020 (Elodie Moos)Pra da Dzeu hiver barrières Elodie Moos 2020 (Elodie Moos)Pra Da Dzeu VTT Été 2020 (Raphaël Surmont)Pra Da Dzeu Pause Automne Pause Jeunes_2020 (Etienne Bornet)Pra Da Dzeu Balade Bisse Saxon Automne 2020 (Etienne Bornet)Pra Da Dzeu Balade Bisse Saxon Automne 2020 (Etienne Bornet)Pra Da Dzeu Raquettes Hiver 2020 (Elodie Moos)1521.5815429688Rairettes ChapelThe Rairettes Chapel is one of the three mayen (mid mountain pastures) chapels along with those of Le Bleusy and Planchouet.
From the 1920s onwards, some inhabitants of Sion seeking tranquillity and wishing to escape the summer heat of the valley built the first chalets in the Rairettes region. Together with a few people from Nendaz who owned mid-mountain grazing, they decided to build a chapel in order to avoid travelling to Basse-Nendaz for Sunday mass.
There is an anecdote about the chapel bell. It should be known that at the time of the construction of the chapel of Les Rairettes, the Saint-Michel chapel in Haute-Nendaz had not been restored and had been left in a state of neglect. The parish priest in place at the time donated the bell "la Metzotte" dating from 1642 to the construction committee of Les Rairettes. After the renovation of the village chapel, the Metzotte returned to its original location. On the new bell in the Rairettes chapel is the following inscription:
"After the Metzotte which now chimes on the restored chapel, I sing the glory of Notre-Dame and the faith of her children - Assumption 1964".Chapelle des Rairettes hiver promeneurs 2021 (Florian Bouvet-Fournier)Chapelle_des_Rairettes_hiver_2021 (Florian Bouvet-Fournier)Chapelle des Rairettes clocher 2016 (Yvette Martignoni)Chapelle Rairettes 2014 (Etienne Bornet)1328.49133300781333.40185546881342.1503906251344.56347656251348.68005371091350.39819335941354.72253417971366.33557128911404.98974609381415.06457519531444.82910156251465.55114746091471.01904296881477.61682128911493.04199218751494.83703613281497.36791992191507.16760253911514.72705078121528.62634277341525.02062988281531.89990234381539.90649414061555.62866210941563.90783691411577.29174804691587.04370117191587.74926757811598.68017578121602.04516601561608.63195800781613.53955078121620.39599609381628.39843751661.64160156251674.53613281251699.8222656251705.01660156251712.29418945311698.47131347661706.82177734381706.5019531251713.11865234381722.79748535161724.76574707031715.47167968751729.36633300781726.53747558591740.89086914061754.57543945311756.80688476561763.32104492191757.19116210941763.26721191411765.74279785161754.97119140621740.64306640621733.14477539061726.04089355471729.32653808591712.77819824221724.87548828121722.96459960941713.05969238281699.61315917971711.57275390621710.15869140621701.95495605471698.99084472661680.89611816411672.86853027341662.63745117191659.01318359381654.56262207031629.49572753911620.96582031251614.27368164061609.67077636721602.56848144531598.23596191411588.98852539061587.50109863281577.22705078121563.15905761721558.87585449221549.98974609381543.02954101561542.04003906251544.41979980471531.6074218751534.25952148441529.25683593751521.67675781251520.49169921881503.26464843751477.06542968751469.24548339841460.4628906251460.89111328121454.47045898441408.66223144531390.13879394531369.37524414061357.80895996091349.33654785161343.06091308591335.24951171881333.42456054691329.24121093751329.0634765625
