Intro

The Musée des Bisses is located in Botyre (Commune of Ayent), 7 km from Sion, on the road leading to Anzère (6 km) and Crans-Montana (12 kms). On the four levels of the Painted House, it is a real journey through time that is proposed to the visitor.

Located in a 17th century painted house, the Musée valaisan des Bisses has been open since 2012. On four levels and in ten rooms, the visitor plunges into the incredible history of the Bisses, from Roman times to the present day: more than a thousand documents, hundreds of objects and several reconstructions allow him to understand the different functions of these traditional irrigation canals of the Valais.

In the heart of the village of Botyre, in the municipality of Ayent, the Museum also offers a selection of local products and a refreshment bar with local drinks "le Bisse'troquet". During the year, a varied program of activities is proposed to you with didactic hikes or local markets. You can also contact us to organize themed walks or aperitif-dinners on the Museum square.

Come and discover a treasure of the Swiss heritage as well as the Chemin du Musée: three didactic walks along the bisses.
