The way there is suitable for families and in the first half along the bisses. The way back is mostly on interesting trails.

The way back is quite tough with enough descents / ascents / descents. Please keep that in mind...

Unfortunately, it happened to me again that I didn't turn on the komoot after the break and the route wasn't fully recorded, so a few meters in altitude and the length are missing. Yes, well, it's the way it is 👣♥️

Plan your return trip carefully, we were able to hitchhike back. Postbus only runs on weekends and only twice a day🫣. We were lucky otherwise it took 2 hours to get back!

The Bisse du Ro is, similar to the irrigation channels in South Tyrol, an old canal through which the valuable water used to irrigate the pastures, vineyards and orchards was channeled in earlier times. Today it is an easy but sometimes exciting and exposed hiking trail that takes you from Crans Montana to the Tseuzier reservoir.
