However, a deed dated March 1555 mentions a donation of three florins and two altar cloths for the restoration of certain religious buildings in the area, including the Saint-Sébastien Chapel. At that time, Nendaz was subject to the Seven Dizains of the Upper Valais and dependent on the governing body of St-Maurice in the Lower Valais. This perhaps explains the choice of St. Sebastian as patron saint. The latter was a contemporary of St. Maurice, leader of the Theban legion massacred by Emperor Diocletian, persecutor of the early Christians. In 288, St. Sebastian, a Roman centurion who converted to Christianity, was pierced with arrows and miraculously healed. Since then, he is beseeched against evil curses and the plague. Nendaz, like the rest of Europe, fell victim to the plague on several occasions, which decimated the population. These epidemics can be seen as another reason for choosing St-Sebastian as a protector. Throughout the year numerous processions led the faithful from the church of Basse-Nendaz to the chapel. Over the centuries, the building was probably renovated several times, especially in the years 1850 - 1860, when Charles-Frédéric Brun, known as Le Déserteur, restored a painting and painted the St. Sebastian situated below the triptych in Baroque style. More recently, in the 1970s, the hunters' association of Nendaz, Veysonnaz and Salins renovated the roof and walls. Since then, every 20 th January, they animate the service of St. Sebastian, patron saint of archers.

The small chapel has been there standing since 1922. The bell that was installed in the bell tower of Basse-Nendaz before 1794 now adorns that of the chapel of Saclentse. Le Sapin Blanc, the only restaurant in the village, offers home-made dishes made entirely from local produce and traditional products. Close to the village, the Bisse d'en Bas, which is seldom frequented, offers the opportunity to enjoy a quiet stroll. It is the lowest of the bisses on the left bank of the Printse. Still in use today, it irrigates the meadows, the raspberry and strawberry fields of Basse-Nendaz and Saclentse before joining the Printse.

Since then, the resort of Haute-Nendaz has continued to develop. Today, in winter, snow sports reign. The vast choice of ski runs, more than 400 kilometres in total, allows both beginners and experienced skiers to enjoy the snowy slopes of the 4 Vallées. During the summer season, the resort is popular with mountain bikers and hikers. Nendaz benefits from an absolutely unique network of bisses (8 of which 6 are still in water). The paths along them, which are relatively flat, shady and traffic-free, are particularly popular places to walk. In July, Nendaz becomes the capital of the Alphorn, thanks in particular to its international festival.

They are asked to carry out artistic projects directly or indirectly linked to the place and its natural and human environment.

La chapelle primitive qui constitue la partie la plus ancienne de l’édifice tient lieu de nos jours de crypte. Elle se trouve au sous-sol de l’église actuelle. Sa construction remonte à la fin du 9ème – début du 10ème siècle. Elle est restée ensevelie sous les décombres des édifices successifs durant des siècles mais, heureusement, on a découvert ses vestiges lors de la réfection de 1964 à 1967. Au pied du clocher de l’église se trouve la tombe de Charles-Frédéric Brun, plus connu sous le nom du Déserteur. Ce mystérieux vagabond est arrivé à Nendaz au milieu du 19ème siècle. Il peignait pour les Nendards en échange de leur hospitalité et de leur silence. Qui était-il ? On ne l’a jamais su. On raconte que c'était un soldat qui avait tué son capitaine, qu'il était notaire ou même évêque. Plus bas, au centre du village, une vieille bâtisse se distingue par ses dimensions et son toit crénelé. Il s’agit de la Majorie. Le bâtiment a été utilisé dès 1668 comme maison forte pour le major de l'époque, avec salle d'audience, prison et salle de torture. On y gardait les condamnés à mort avant de les emmener sur la place des potences vers la chapelle Saint-Sébastien, à la sortie du village.
