    Hiking

    The Cretaz Mill, restored in 2007. It was once the hub of agricultural activities in the nearby villages, where wheat was ground into flour using the power of water. The water, taken from the nearby stream and conveyed through channels that are still visible today, moved the mill blades. Today the site is a fascinating reminder of mountain traditions, perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in the roots of this community.

    Hiking

    The mill was renovated in 2007 by the municipal administration as a testimony of the past, when the inhabitants of the surrounding villages used it to transform grain into flour. The water was diverted from the nearby stream and forced through channels (still visible) to move the mill.
