Heritage
Our mountain heritage is still omnipresent in the valley’s village-resorts.
Wander along the Baroque way, linger in the village craft and history museums and stroll around our chapels and you will see a side to the valley that you perhaps never imagined... Each village has its surprises.
Here you will find a mass of historical information about the places to visit. So, have an enjoyable journey along the heritage routes of Val d'Arly, where your curiosity and interest will be rewarded by vistas of stunning beauty. 
Places to visit during your walks or guided tours.
- The church of St Nicolas la Chapelle, with its richly decorated altars and retables and its open-work bulbous bell-tower.
- The church of La Giettaz en Aravis , with its retable and lateral altars
- The much older church of Flumet, with its Baroque retable and neo-classical murals

For those who would like to find out more, guided visits are organised in all of the resorts.
