Hiking

The historic irrigation canals of Valais are called bisses. They consist of open ditches or canals made of wood, which bring the water from the mountain streams to the pastures and fields, to the vineyards or to the orchards. Many of the bisses are still in use today.

The section along the Suone is very beautiful; in summer you are in the shade and can even put your hands in the cool water.
