Suonen

Highlight • Trail

The historic irrigation canals in Valais, seen here, are called "bisses." They were built to supply the pastures and fields with water from mountain streams.

Hüoterhüsi (Suonen Guardian's Cabin)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This was the hut for the bisse overseer who looked after the bisse. That way he didn't have to go down to the village every day. The saying on the hut wall: Who knows how close my end is, time passes, death comes. Oh, how quickly, how swiftly my death can come.

Visp Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

The old Visp developed in the hilly zone because until about 150 years ago there were constant floods in the valley floor. The Rhone and the Vispa were corrected, expanded, and channelized. This made the entire area free for development. Another reason why people built on the hill was the military pressure on the Upper Valais. On a hill with ring walls, one could defend oneself better. Several conflagrations in the 13th and 14th centuries and the great conflagration of 1518 destroyed almost all of Visp. Thus, only individual houses built before 1518 can still be found.
