Suonen Trail in Valais

Highlight • Trail

A very beautiful hiking trail along a Suone. The path is rather narrow and goes down steeply. Sure-footedness is very important. I would advise people who are afraid of heights not to take the path. If you have children with you, rope them up to be on the safe side. You will fall very far if you don't stay on the path.

Niwärch–Gorperi Suonen Trail

Highlight • Trail

Easy hike, but some places will take your breath away. Only boards at the edge, in some places no ropes. You should not be afraid of heights!

Undra Suone Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The hike along the Undra Suone in Valais leads through green meadows, shady forests and steep mountain slopes. These historic irrigation channels offer easy, well-marked trails with breathtaking views of the Alps and valleys. The route shows the traditional irrigation culture and leads past small villages and alpine huts.

August 11, 2022,Niwärch- und Gorperi-Suone im Baltschiedertal (Oberwallis)

A day in the sun-kissed Upper Valais 😏 (As if we weren't all sun-kissed at the moment 🥵).

My daily program consisted of hiking from the Ausserberg starting point to two bisses, the Niwärch and Gorperi bisses in the Baltschiedertal. As is well known, Ausserberg is a little higher than Visp on the Lötschberg-Südrampe hiking classic, on the more than …

An indescribable day
Thank you so much, dear Mädi, for this unforgettable day, for your dedication as a bisse guide and top chef.

Without your safe guidance, we wouldn't have been able to tackle all of these exposed, narrow, overhanging, and free-hanging paths. Everyone must be free of vertigo and not afraid of heights when attempting this bisse hike. All …

September 1, 2024,🇨🇭 (VS) Ausserberg ➡️ Eggerberg -Entlang der Suonen 🇨🇭01.09.2024

Today I hiked along the Suonen between Ausserberg and Eggerberg. Suonen are artificial watercourses that have existed in the mountain landscapes of the Valais since the 14th century. Today they are more or less just a tourist attraction.
Overall, the route is easy to hike, but in some places you definitely have to be free from vertigo. In some places …

The sunny slopes have always been considered a very dry region. It was and is all the more important that the meadows and fields could be irrigated. The residents therefore spared neither work nor fear to guide the "Suonen" around rocks and through avalanche tracks or forests. Almost overhanging passages were provided with wooden channels. The channels were walled up …

A very beautiful hike along two irrigation channels, which I highly recommend. You should be sure-footed and have a head for heights. I only encountered other hikers once through untouched nature.
