  • 00-Tour pédestre du Val d'Hérens

    14 km · +1696 m

    The route descends from the Cabane des Becs de Bosson at 2985 m — renovated in 2012 and perched below the 3149 m summit with panoramic views of Valais 4000-metre peaks — through the wild and remote Vallon de Réchy. It finishes at Nax, known as the "Balcony of the Sky" for its elevated position.

  • 01-Tour pédestre du Val d'Hérens

    14.6 km · +750 m

    From alpine pastures and a 13,000-year-old raised bog — the Gouilles d'Essertze, where information panels describe local fauna — the route builds toward the Grande Dixence dam: at 285 metres high and 15 million tonnes, the world's tallest gravity dam, holding 400 billion litres of water in Switzerland's largest reservoir. The entire stage unfolds above 2,000 m, with views across the Val d'Hérémence to glacier-covered peaks of the Valais Alps.

  • 03-Chemin des Bisses

    markierter Wanderweg

  • 04-Chemin des Bisses

    16.7 km · +1446 m

    The fifth segment of the Chemin des Bisses runs from St-Martin to Nax, tracing the course of ancient irrigation canals through a landscape of mixed forests, spectacular mountain peaks, and the constant murmur of water channelled through centuries-old bisses. These ingenious waterways, built by Valais farmers to carry water to their fields, thread through a varied flora and carry with them a deep layer of regional history.

  • 06-Tour pédestre du Val d'Hérens

    8.9 km · +454 m

  • Chemin du Grand Bisse de Vex

    4.8 km · +219 m

    A historic irrigation channel — the "bisse" — runs beside you through dense larch and spruce forest, its quiet broken only by sudden open views across the wide valley floor to the mountain world beyond. Tiny glades and secluded picnic spots punctuate the mostly wide path through this idyllic region above the valley.

  • Bisse de Savièse (Torrent-Neuf)

    6.4 km · +626 m

    Gebouwd aan het begin van de 15e eeuw om water van de rivier de Morge te transporteren, vereist dit oude irrigatiekanaalpad stevige zenuwen: de heen-en-terugRoute van ongeveer 8 km kruist vier hangbruggen, elk ongeveer 100 meter lang, die boven steile afgronden door de heuvels boven Savièse slingeren.

  • Bisse de la Tsandra

    11.9 km · +1507 m

  • Bisse de la Tsandra

    11.7 km · +1178 m

    Twee vijftiende-eeuwse irrigatiekanalen — beide gevoed door water van de Tsanfleuron-gletsjer nabij het Diablerets-massief — leiden wandelaars door de velden boven Conthey, waarbij elke bisse zijn eigen onderscheidend karakter heeft. Langs het tweede kanaal belichten informatiepanelen de eeuwenoude Valais-traditie van met de hand gebouwde suones, terwijl de route uitkomt op brede vergezichten over het dal.
