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

The 13th-century parish church of San Giorgio was restored several times before being built in its current Gothic-Renaissance style. Other interesting attractions are the stunning statue of S. Giorgio and the Dragon, a gift from some residents who emigrated to America in 1891.

Cis is an ideal starting point for a hike along 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.) and provides stunning panoramic views of the surrounding nature.

The hamlet of Mostizzolo at the entrance of the Val di Sole lies near the railway and the road bridges, also belongs to the municipality of Cis.
