Steles trail route
The marking of the route (which takes the Via Francigena route) is made by means of 5 steles made up of stained-glass windows set in granite blocks.
The stained glass windows, original work of the artist Isabelle Tabin-Darbellay, celebrate the great Saints who marked the history of the Abbey:
- Maurice, the chief martyr of the Theban legion in and around the year 290
- Théodule, the bishop who comes to remove the remains of the martyrs and deposit them in the first church at the foot of the Agaune rock in and around 380
- Sigismund, the Burgundian king who built the monastery
- Augustin, the father of the Church whose canons of the Abbey have followed the Order since 1128
- Time: around 1 hour
- Difficulty: level 1
- Signposts : none
- Distance : 2 km
