    Tips

    The Bisse de Saxon is nicknamed the King of Bisses because of its length. It is indeed the longest irrigation canal, running 26 kilometers along the cliffside. Today, the facilities have given way to a hiking trail that allows visitors to retrace the path taken by the waters from Boveresse. It is a wild trail offering superb views of the mountains.
