Today the chapel of Our Lady of the Ardent stands on a promontory near the hamlet of Les Vernays and overlooks the whole valley. The canon Louis-Marie Ducrey, parish priest of Bagnes from 1939 to 1970, listened to the pleas of his congregation and built the new chapel in 1950. The old chapel, dating back to the 17th century, had been deteriorating for years due to its situation in a very humid environment.
