Starting from the hamlet of Nantey The small mountain village can be reached in 45 minutes on foot by following trail no.

The other somewhat longer option (1h30) is to start from the hamlet Marine from which you can also walk the path leading to the Glacières mill (path No. 5), along ru Marine, and then continue on the road crossing the bridge to reach the village of interest.
The hike can be described as an open-air museum of rural mountain architecture.
In fact, Chemp is filled with the wooden and bronze works of sculptor Giuseppe Bettoni and other artists that make the village one of a kind.
Chemp, the art village built on a rise of rocks surrounded by chestnut trees, became the workshop of sculptor Bettoni.
The artist’s concept was to repopulate with art a village inevitably depopulating but rich in history and beauty.
Like a loving father, Pino watches over his wandering elders, little girls and original animals.
In fact, his workshop is located in a small house in the village.
It is here that he has created his works, which are a great success among visitors to the village but also at exhibitions and craft fairs.
