The walk along the Tsittoret is mostly done by following the course of the bisse from Vermala. Occasionally, admire the exceptional panorama: La Dent Blanche, the Matterhorn, Obergabelhorn, Zinalrothorn, Weisshorn, etc., good reasons to catch your breath. During your route, a stop at the Hameau de Colombire is recommended. Here, you will discover how life was organized at the mayen, this typical Valais structure used as lodging for shepherds who took their flocks to spend the summer in the alpine pastures. You will also find a restaurant where you can refresh yourself and taste some typical local dishes. The continuation of the route is the most beautiful water section. It flows along a peaceful slope, generally wooded, rich in varied flora. The view is simply magical. Finally, the discovery of the Tièche Valley will be the ultimate reward for this day of walking.
OUR ADVICE
The bisse also forms the route of the Chemin de l'air, a route made up of panels on the theme of air and atmospheric pollution and created by the State of Valais.
