The departure of the Bisse du Milieu is about 200 metres from Nendaz Tourisme. The bisse starts by crossing the upper part of the village and then continues into the Val de Nendaz. You then pass through the hamlet of Bleusy where you can admire the delightful chapel. The bisse continues leisurely to the Printze, below the hamlet of Planchouet. If you feel a little peckish or thirsty, don't hesitate to make a delicious detour to one of the hamlet's restaurants.

The walk continues on the other side of the Printse valley along the Grand Bisse de Vex, in the same direction as the water flow. The bisse first runs along the lower edge of the forest and then continues into the forest for several kilometres. On the bisse you will find several wooden constructions necessary for the transport of the water and which testify to the enormous work carried out in the past. On leaving the forest, you come to the dry meadows with their protected biotope between Beuson, Clèbes and Verrey. The bisse finally crosses the upper part of Veysonnaz and takes you to the gondola departure station, and the arrival point of this beautiful itinerary.

A thematic treasure hunt is also set up along the entire route of the Veysonnaz to Planchouet bisse to make the walk more fun and entertaining for children.

Useful information

To avoid making the round trip on the same route, Nendaz and Veysonnaz Tourism organize a "shuttle bus" which allows you to make one way by bus and the return on foot.
For further information contact Veysonnaz Tourism.
Walking time and distance given for the return journey by foot only.
