Church of Haute-Nendaz

The Saint-Michel Chapel was built in 1499, as evidenced by an engraved wooden panel. Several times rebuilt and renovated, it almost disappeared in the 1960s. Thanks to the intervention of the Service des Monuments Historiques du canton du Valais, it was finally saved. The building in its present state, in Baroque style, dates from the 18th century. The interior decoration is the work of the painter Charles Frédéric Brun, better known in the region as Le Déserteur. The latter arrived in Nendaz around 1840.

The church of Saint-Léger, commonly known as the church of Basse-Nendaz, dates back to the end of the 9th or the beginning of the 10th century. However, the present structure of the church owes much to a renovation in the 1960s. The original chapel, which is the oldest part of the building, now serves as a crypt.

The Rairettes Chapel, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, was consecrated in 1930. As early as the 1920s, the inhabitants of Sion began to build the first chalets in the Rairettes area. The chapel was built by inhabitants tired of travelling to Basse-Nendaz for Sunday mass.
