This adorable mid-mountain chapel looks as if it belongs in a fairytale. It was constructed in 1999 by the owner of Sun Peaks Resort, Peter Stumboeck. The Chapel was named after, and devoted to,  his late friend Franz Brandsetter. The name also invokes the German monk Saint Franziskus who was a patron of animals.

Throughout the Chaple are the works of Bavarian painter Rudi Schmid. The bell that chimes above the chapel entrance was also brought in from Bavaria. During the ski season, the chapel hosts Sunday Mass, Christmas, and Easter services. It is also used year-round for weddings. This enchanting chapel is an intriguing stop on your way down the slopes.
