Although it is best known for being a resort town in the mountains with spa hotels serving wellness packages to older customers, it is also famous for its abbey. The St. Maurice Abbey is still an active religious site that houses many legendary relics.

It is a huge compound that includes an ancient burial site, a church hall, a baptismal, and many underground rooms. The price of entry comes with a useful audioguide that tells you all about the history of the place and its relics, I highly recommend you take the time to enjoy the self-guided tour.

My favourite part of the Abbey is the quiet prayer garden near the end of the tour where you can sit in a moment of silence and reflection.
