Alagna is history and culture too. Alagna is a harmonious whole of small villages once inhabited by one of the most fascinating ethnic minority: the Walser. Coming from the Vallese region, from which the name "walliser", after reduced into "Walser".

During more than seven centuries, the population of Alagna has maintained unchanged their language, culture and above all architecture. This last one is exclusive in the utilisation of materials as wood and stone.
Without geographical boundaries, the Walser community is certainly the most characteristic culture of the Alps.
