Intro
Nendaz and Veysonnaz offer a guided walk to learn all about the bisses of their region through their past, their role and their origins. This easy walk, which provides magnificent views of the Alps, lets you read an important page in the story of Valais in its nature.
A guided mountain walk to find out more about the bisses of Valais:
– Why do we find bisses in Central Valais?
– What is the role of the bisse guard?
– Where does the bisse start and end?
– Can you drink bisse water?
– What is the name of the flower with seamless leaves that grows along the bisse?
– What is the story of the Planchouet bear?
The answers to these questions can be found in reading, in nature, an important chapter in the story of Valais.
Easy route over four bisses (Vex, D'En Bas, Du Milieu, Vieux), 200m elevation
