The Ru du Mont is an ancient irrigation canal originally built in the 14th century. Today, it's a popular hiking trail for its linearity and evocative views. Along the route, you can enjoy spectacular views of the Grand Combin mountain range and the Valpelline valley below. In some sections, you can still see the ancient stone canal structures.
