Reputedly, this remote valley was settled by displaced Celts from Valais Canton in the 12th Century. They brought with them a distinctive building style of dispersed huts built totally of stone. The present day community is much larger, but the dispersed huts remain, see below, and roofs are almost entirely made of stone.
Local stone is so beautiful and so common it is even used as fencing, see below.
Vals has the Therme thermal baths and a large mineral water bottling plant.
