About this guide

The Bisse du Ro was carved into the rock in the 15th century and links Lake Tseuzier with Crans-Montana. The path along it crosses vertiginous passages; since 2020 a suspension bridge, 120 m long and 70 m above the void, gives an aerial view of the Ertentse valley.

The official route runs one way from the Tseuzier dam (1,778 m) along the bisse to Crans-Montana (1,498 m). For a shorter walk, start in Crans-Montana and turn back at the bridge, returning the same way.

Difficulty

The path crosses vertiginous passages, and the suspension bridge hangs 70 m above the void.

Season
