Bisses Hiking Trails

Nendaz is famous for its network of 'bisses' (irrigation channels) that double as picturesque, mostly flat hiking trails. There are 8 bisses in the region, totalling over 98 km, offering easy to moderate walks suitable for families and all ages. Notable bisses include the 'Bisse du Milieu' (easy, passing through the village) and the 'Bisse de Saxon' (longer, with stunning views). These trails provide unique insights into Valaisan heritage and offer spectacular views without significant elevation gain. Most bisses are accessible from late spring to late autumn, with some sections open year-round depending on snow conditions. Free access.
