Notre Dame de Guérison (Our Lady of Healing) is a small sanctuary located in the hamlet of La Saxe, just above Courmayeur. This 19th-century church is a place of quiet reflection, known for its association with miraculous healings and as a destination for pilgrims seeking spiritual comfort. The sanctuary features a simple but elegant façade, a single nave, and an altar adorned with a revered statue of the Virgin Mary. Inside, the atmosphere is serene, with votive offerings and plaques testifying to answered prayers. The surrounding alpine landscape, with views of Mont Blanc and lush meadows, enhances the sense of peace. Visitors often come to light a candle, attend mass, or simply enjoy the tranquil setting. The sanctuary is particularly moving during the Feast of the Assumption (August 15), when a special procession takes place.
