Begin your walk in the heart of the village of Beuson. Take the opportunity to admire the little chapel for a few moments before starting your walk.

Follow the small road that passes next to the chapel. Continue up this narrow road until you reach the Rue du Stade. Walk past the football pitch and then cross the main road one last time to continue your ascent to the start of the bisse de Salins.

Then follow the bisse de Salins. After crossing the impressive Ogeintse bridge, you pass through the dry meadows of Clèbes. From here you have a magnificent view over the Val de Nendaz and the Bernese Alps opposite.

Follow this bisse until you pass below the village of Veysonnaz. When you reach the drinking water reservoir, leave the bisse and take the path down to the hamlets of Beaupérier, Misériez and finally Salins.

From Salins, take the bisse de Baar, which winds through the apricot trees. After looking down on the village of Baar from above, continue your walk to the charming village of Brignon. Cross the farm and follow the small road up through the village to the Castle of Brignon. From here, your starting point is in sight again!

Apart from the walking time, this walk with its many different landscapes and viewpoints is accessible to all, without any great technical difficulty.
