At almost 1,700 meters above sea level there is the characteristic village of Saint-Jacques (Saint-Jacques-des-Allemads is the full name).
The town is a little gem set at the end of the Ayas valley: the Walser-style houses sit on the slopes of the peaks of the Rosa massif.

Saint Jacques des Allemands is a fairytale village of Ayas. The first Walser colony from Valais settled here.

characteristic mountain village, rich in history and with typical wooden houses and some rascards, parking is limited at the starting point of the tours, but going down a few hundred meters further downstream there is ample parking, also suitable for coaches
