Join us on Thursday July 17 and August 28 for an unusual tour of the Abbey. In the dark, sometimes only by torchlight, explore this exceptional monument.
What happens at Abondance Abbey when the sun goes down and the moon shines on the slate roof?
Plunge into the half-light and wander into the smallest nooks and crannies of this emblematic monument in the Abondance valley. A journey through time that's likely to make you lose your bearings... But don't worry, our guides will be there to guide you.
