Grand Bisse de Lens

Highlight • Trail

A great hike along the large Bisse, with a constant great view of the Rhone Valley. All dangerous spots are secured. However, you shouldn't be afraid of heights.

Old Village of Lens

Highlight • Settlement

The old part of the village is very pleasant with many old wooden houses. A walking tour of the old village is well worth the detour.
