Lens and its parish have been attested since the 12th century. A religious and administrative center for centuries, Lens is also the starting point of the Rawyl Pass which leads to Lenk, in the canton of Bern. This passage was once heavily frequented by merchants and muleteers who stored their goods in a "souste" (warehouse) located where the bourgeois house stands, in the center of the large village. The agro-pastoral culture, which allows farmers to be largely self-sufficient, involves cereal fields, meadows, pastures and mountain pastures for cattle breeding, forests, and vineyards. As in most of Valais, Lens chose to build distinct buildings reserved for a single function instead of farms where living quarters and agro-pastoral exploitation premises were combined under one roof.
Take the route around the village, starting at the bus stop "Centre d'art", follow Rue Principale, then Chemin du Dailly to reach the Church of Lens, then return via Route d'Icogne, Chemin Pra Derry and Chemin d'en Haut to join Rue Principale and return to the starting point.
