The chalet is named after Henriette d'Angeville. Known as "Mademoiselle d'Angeville, la Fiancée du Mont Blanc," she was a remarkable Franco-Swiss mountaineer born in 1794. She became the second woman to conquer Mont Blanc, at the age of 44 in 1838. Her ascent without physical assistance earned her the nickname "La Fiancée du Mont Blanc." Despite social challenges, she continued her mountaineering career for 25 years, even reaching the summit of the Oldenhorn at the age of 69. She later settled in Lausanne, showing an interest in caving and may well have founded a mineralogy museum. Her legacy lives on, challenging social norms and celebrating her extraordinary journey.
