La Tzoumaz - Nendaz
↔14.86 km ↗+610 m ↘-723 m ◔6h 00 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from Riddes (Valais)
The elevation profile says it all about this day. Most of the route runs along the Grand Bisse de Saxon. This section has been beautifully restored. In Taillay, you will discover a water wheel and a hammer powered by the stream. This ingenious invention was an alarm signal. The sound of the hammer could be heard 2 km away. The absence of sound alerted the bisse guard. You will recognise the Muverans massif on the other side of the Rhône valley.

Walking Col des Planches - La Tzoumaz

Walker
Col des Planches - La Tzoumaz
↔13.76 km ↗+929 m ↘-829 m ◔6h 35 ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Vollèges (Valais)
During this first stage, you will discover part of the Old Saxon Bisse (the longest of the bisse: 26 km from its water source in Siviez to La Boveresse). The bisse starts at the point (6). Built in the 1850s, the pipes no longer exist, so you will have to wait until you reach La Tzoumaz to finally see water flowing along the path. The bisse is currently being restored in sections.

Walking From Col des Planches to Grimentz via the bisses trail

Walker
Du Col des Planches à Grimentz par le chemin des bisses
↔100.08 km ↗+5,205 m ↘-5,029 m ◔6 days ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from Vollèges (Valais)
The word "bisse" is used in Valais to refer to irrigation channels that carry water from the mountains to cultivated land. They can be buried in the ground, carved into the rock or suspended from cliffs. Some bisses are over 500 years old and their pipes are damaged or no longer exist due to landslides. Water is therefore not available everywhere, despite efforts to restore this precious heritage. Over six days, you will discover these trails steeped in history.

Walking Valais Day 2: Cabane de Louvie - Cabane de Prafleuri (Louvie Hut - Prafleuri Hut)

Walker
Cabane de Louvie - Cabane de Prafleuri
↔10.16 km ↗+1,067 m ↘-641 m ◔8 hrs ▲Very difficult

Walking Trek from Fionay to Saas-Fee

Walker
Circuit Fionay - Saas-Fee
↔101.83 km ↗+8,402 m ↘-8,074 m ◔7 days ▲Very difficult
⚑Departure from Bagnes (Valais)
In the Swiss valley, this particularly pleasant hike allows you to explore the many 4000 m peaks that surround the route. N.B. this route is outlined on Openmap which doesn't have the details of our fine IGN maps. Before being able to get your hands on a Swiss map, which are more precise, the route and GPS layouts will be handy for this pleasant trek.

Two bisses are on the agenda for this third day. Very quickly in Nendaz, you will reach the "Bisse Vieux" against the current, then after Planchouet, you will stroll along the magnificent "Grand Bisse de Vex". Opposite, the Rhône valley is often visible, and you will clearly see the Derborance and Sanetsch valleys, Mont Gond, the Wildhorn and its glacier.
