This small chapel is located in a quiet corner of the historical centre. Former oratory of the district, the chapel was enlarged until the 20th century. Inside, two statues of Saint Erasmus and Saint Francis can be admired, as well as a magnificent painting of the Virgin and Child next to the Patron Saint.

The Chapel of Saint Hubert, dating from 1627, is topped by a small octagonal bell turret with an iron cross at its summit. This itself carries a cross and key symbol which was probably that of the Saint Hubert abbey. There are some statues of saints inside. When the chapel is closed a small opening in the door allows one to view the interior.

The Chapel of Saint Jerome, or University Chapel, was built between 1761 and 1767 by the architect Simón Gabilán Tomé. This chapel was built on the site of the famous "Sky of Salamanca", the work of Fernando Gallego in the 1480s, which was rediscovered around 1952, when a major restoration of the university buildings was carried out for the celebrations of the VII Centenary of the University (1953-54). This mural was moved to the Escuelas Menores building.

The present chapel building is the result of successive campaigns of work and restoration: built from the Romanesque period, it has been shaped over the centuries. The construction of the chapel dates back to the 12th century. The porch is from the 15th century. For example, bays were opened or enlarged in the 17th century, the bell tower was rebuilt between 1772 and 1774, as was the sacristy. In 1999, donations were granted for structural work (masonry, roofing and carpentry).

This building is on the site where a strong castle, owned by the Counts of Comminges, was demolished in the 17th century on royal orders, leaving only the castral chapel dating from the end of the 11th century to remain. It is a stopover on the way to the Pyrenean Piedmont of Santiago de Compostela. The interior has murals of rare iconography from the 13th century. After a climb under the gigantic cedars, you will discover its southern portal decorated with arches on balusters and sculpted capitals.

This chapel was founded between 1932 and 1933. The architect was Albert-Victor Faubert who designed the building in an expressionist style.

The chapel of Saint-Barthélémy is the oldest chapel in Nendaz. The exact date of its construction is not known, but a document from 1447 attests to its existence. Before the construction of the nearby Cleuson dam, it was located in the valley. Built in wood, it was renovated several times, the last time in 1888. In 1951, the dam workers built a new stone chapel on the present site.

The Saint-Colomban chapel is located in the hamlet of the same name, in Carnac . The chapel of st Colomban was built or started at the end of the 16th century, perhaps by the will of René de Larlan, rector of Carnac from 1585 to 1600, from a large seigniorial family of Erdeven (Kercadio) and Ploëmel (Coetquintin). This building is in flamboyant gothic style. An octagonal turret, with a spiral staircase, gives access to a short conical-shaped bell tower, erected on a cornice platform. This bell tower is pierced with bays and flanked by 4 small pinnacles.

The Chapel of Saint-Hubert was built and sculpted between 1491 and 1496 by Flemish artists in the pure flamboyant gothic style in white tuff on the initiative of Charles VIII (1483-1498). The chapel was later used as an oratory for Anne of Brittany, before becoming the presumed final resting place of the body of Leonardo da Vinci, who died in Amboise in 1519.
