The most famous fantasy tale, but with perhaps a hint of truth, tells of two young men who were courting the beautiful castellan who lived in Tornalla. When the lord of Oyace realised the situation, he chased the unfortunate men. They were forced to flee into the forest, but found their way blocked by the Buthier stream, which, just below the Tornalla, runs between high rock walls. Faced with this obstacle, one of the two young men allowed himself to be captured, but the other, named Béteind, leapt and found shelter on the opposite side. The beau who had not dared to jump was caught, sprinkled with salt and fed, tied up, to a herd of sheep who licked him to death. Béteind was pardoned and the bridge that is now called the Betenda bridge was built on the spot where he dared to jump.

The chatelaine is the main protagonist of another legend that tells of her virtues. The girl was going to the houses of the poor to offer her help when the lord noticed that the coffers continued to dwindle, so he lurked and discovered the bride's subterfuge. She then locked all the doors with strong bolts, but it was enough for the prodigal lady's hand to rest on the iron of the locks for them to open. The lord then thought of surprising his wife on her way to the poorest subjects. One day he met her in the street with a basket in her hand, covered with a cloth. He asked the woman what she was carrying, to which she replied 'Rose'. Unconvinced, he forced her to remove the cloth. The basket did indeed contain flowers and he asked her to pin two of them on her hat. The chatelaine, given her loving nature, agreed. When the gentleman returned to the Tornalla, he took off his hat and, to his astonishment, noticed that instead of roses there were two loaves of bread. He was so disturbed that he decided not to hinder the chatelaine any longer in her charitable work.
