It’s the time of year to enjoy the ‘bisses’ once again
News
Five of our eight bisses are already accessible - this many easy walks in magnificent landscapes.
The eight bisses of Nendaz form a network which is unique in the world. Remarkable fact, six of these historical irrigation canals are still in operation and so are water-filled in summer. The paths which run alongside them offer innumerable possibilities of hikes which are as accessible to children as they are to seniors. Altogether, in summer they represent 98 kilometres of walks.
BISSES WHICH ARE PRACTICABLE AT THE MOMENT
- Bisse d'en Bas
- Bisse du Milieu
- Bisse de Baar
- Bisse de Salins
- Bisse Vieux
FILLING WITH WATER
The bisses Vieux and du Milieu are filled with water. The other bisses have will have water flowing between their banks very soon. A section of the bisse de Saxon will also be filled with water before the beginning of the summer, as it is every year. The Bisse de Chervé, located at 2'370 m above sea level, is no longer used for irrigation purposes and therefore no longer filled with water. It is usually accessible from the end of June.
