August 23, 2022,Nendaz: Bisse du milieu - Bisse vieux

Of the eight bisses (suonen) in Nendaz, six still have water - even if partly for tourist reasons rather than for irrigation.
The oldest bisse in Nendaz dates back to 1435! The longest, "Bisse de Saxon", has a length of 26 or even 32 km, depending on the information, and is therefore the longest bisse in Europe.

This hike in the snow is beautiful. However, in winter there is no sun except for a few sections. We set off at 12 noon.
