Away from the slopes, the village centre, is full of traditional timber buildings, with restaurants, bars, an ice rink and swimming pool available.
In summer the village centre has many balconies with flower displays, music festivals, markets and exhibitions. The cable car runs during the summer, providing access to hiking, mountain biking and mountain restaurants.
The village centre is a conservation area, though it is far from a museum piece, as most of the houses are homes, year round.

The village sits in the Val de Moiry, at the foot of the Moiry Glacier. It's history is in farming, when farmers travelled up with their cows from winter quarters in Sierre. Agriculture is still a strong tradition and cows with bells graze the pastures during each summer.
The Moiry Glacier at the head of the valley is spectacular and well worth a visit, passing the Moiry Barrage on your way. The Barrage is accessible in summer by car, in winter only on skis and off piste. There is hiking, climbing, Via Ferrata and Mountain Biking available in this area.
