There are over 30 buildings in the typical construction of the Upper Valais barn and granary. With stilts and mouse plates. A photo paradise.
The barns, granaries, stables and old houses from the 16th to 18th centuries make a whole. If you squeeze your way through the extremely narrow alleys, you will think you are in ancient times.

In case you were wondering what those big round "stone plates" on these houses are for: It's an ingenious invention of people in the past. It serves to prevent mice from entering the house. Definitely worth a visit 👍🏻

Take a stroll through the side streets to see these old houses!
