Bisse du Ro - walk a medieval water channel carved into a cliff face above vineyards

Medieval irrigation aqueduct carved directly into a 600-meter cliff above Crans-Montana vineyards — a 70m hanging bridge with wine tastings at trailside caves makes this a vertical wine walk.

What to do there

AdventureBisse du Ro - walk a medieval water channel carved into a cliff face above vineyardsThe bisses are medieval irrigation channels that carried glacier water to Valais vineyards. The Bisse du Ro follows a 500-year-old channel carved into vertical cliff faces above the Rhône Valley. Walk the narrow path with nothing but air between you and the vineyards 300m below. These channels made wine possible in Valais - without them, no vines, no wine, no civilization.
