Naters

Naters has a beautiful old village centre that has a lot to tell from the past. The narrow alleyways and traditional Valais chalets transport visitors back to times long past and allow them to feel the history of the village. A stroll through this charming part of Naters is like a journey through the centuries.
In addition to its rich historical heritage, Naters also offers a wide range of sports and leisure activities, art and culture. The breathtaking landscape of Valais invites you to outdoor adventures. Hiking trails lead through picturesque valleys, past clear mountain lakes and to spectacular viewpoints of the surrounding mountains. Mountain bikers will find challenging routes, while climbers can test their skills on the rock faces. Skiers and snowboarders can explore the nearby ski areas and whizz down the perfectly groomed slopes.
Naters is proud of its historic and valuable buildings, which reflect the history of the village. The Catholic parish church of St Mauritius, the rectory and the ossuary bear witness to the village's deep religious tradition. The Ornavasso Tower, an old watchtower, is a reminder of the times of defence and protection. The Schloss auf der Flüe, an impressive 16th-century castle, and the Totenplatte, a historic memorial stone, are other popular sights that cast a spell over visitors.
Naters is more than just a picturesque village in Valais. It is a place that knows how to combine history, culture and nature in perfect harmony. Here, visitors can immerse themselves in times gone by, enjoy the beauty of the landscape and be inspired by the lively art and culture scene. Naters is a place where traditions are cherished and history remains alive, while at the same time creating space for modern activities and creative development.
