Bisse de Vex

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Bisse de Vex, which dates back to the early 15th century, has been completely rehabilitated after being submerged by the waters of the rivers it diverts. The section from Veysonnaz to Mayens de Sion is accessible for strollers and people with reduced mobility.

Yoga Trail Veysonnaz

Highlight • Trail

You can practice yoga anywhere, even in the Alps. This is proven by the yoga path inaugurated in 2019 in the energizing forest of Magrappé. Not only are the four elements and exercises explained to you at a total of seven stations, you can also do the exercises directly thanks to the wooden posts. Don't forget the yoga mat!

Bisse de Vex

Highlight • Trail

The Bisse de Vex is a total of eleven kilometers long. Especially nice is the section between Veysonnaz and Mayens de Sion, because here the path is wide and barrier-free. The best time for a hike along the Bisse is between May and October, when it runs on water. But not only hikers and walkers get their money's worth there, also yoga enthusiasts can relax on the yoga path along the Bisse de Vex and recharge their batteries.
