The Bisse du Ro is an incredible achievement of the ancestors in the Valais, featuring marvelous paths in the forest and bridges along vertical walls that allow the passage of water and people. This historic irrigation channel trail offers extraordinary art and artisanship of the hundreds of water channels in the Valais, which have been the guarantee for great wines since medieval times. The trail features a recently constructed 120-meter suspension bridge at 70 meters above ground, adding excitement for adventure seekers. Hotel Royal’s concierge can arrange transportation to the trailhead and provide guidance on the various sections, from the easier protected walkways suitable for beginners to the full challenging route extending to the Tseuzier Dam.
