Bisse du Torrent-Neuf, Historical irrigation system in Savièse, Switzerland
The Bisse du Torrent Neuf extends through mountainous terrain, featuring four suspension footbridges that span 140 meters across deep valleys and gorges.
Engineers constructed this water channel system in 1430 to transport water from the Morge river to agricultural lands in the Valais region.
The irrigation network reflects the collaborative spirit of Valais communities, who worked together to build and maintain these essential water channels.
The hiking trail starts at Les Biniis at 1,037 meters altitude and continues for 9 kilometers with a total elevation change of 200 meters.
The suspension bridges reach heights of 76 meters above ground, offering views of the surrounding Alpine landscape while following the original water course.
