This small village at 732 m a.s.l. is particularly interesting for its rustic architecture and especially for the frescoes depicting sacral scenes on some of its houses.

The 13th-century parish church of San Giorgio was restored several times before assuming its current Gothic-Renaissance style. Other interesting attractions are the stunning statue of S. Giorgio and the Dragon, a gift from some residents before they emigrated to America in 1891 with the aim of keeping in touch with their birthplace.

Cis is an ideal destination for numerous hikers, as it is the southernmost starting point of the sentiero "Aldo Bonacossa". This long path runs along three peaks: Cima Candei (2,190 m a.s.l.), Cima Vese (2,400 m a.s.l.) and Cima Lac (2,439 m a.s.l.). This itinerary is particularly recommended for its stunning panoramic views and uniqueness.

Also the hamlet of Mostizzolo at the entrance to the Val di Sole near the railway and road bridges belongs to the municipality of Cis.
