The Grand Bisse d’Ayent, built in 1442, draws its water from near the Tseuzier dam. Although the upper part of the bisse has been dry since the dam was completed, you can still discover traces of it along the path. The Passage des Follés is reserved for people not prone to vertigo, as the bisse there follows a rocky ridge. Upon arriving at Torrent-Croix, discover the incredible work carried out by our ancestors: the bisse was hand-carved into the rock and runs along chutes attached to the cliff, immortalized in 2019 on the back of the CHF 100 note. These chutes have not been in service for a few years and today the bisse passes through a 95-meter-long tunnel, in the middle of which a passage leads to a platform offering a magnificent view of the entire installation. If you wish, you can finish your hike in Anzère or continue towards Arbaz. The finish is near Étang Long, located in the center of the village and appreciated by anglers.
To access the Grand Bisse d'Ayent, start your hike on the wall of the Tseuzier dam and follow the path that descends near the restaurant, leading you into the Lienne valley, up to the junction with the bisse. This first part is equipped with a handrail in the steepest sections and is reserved for people not prone to dizziness. It is also possible to start the hike at the CarPostal Samarin stop to avoid this part. Follow the signage that leads you through varied landscapes and admire the remnants of the past and the incredible construction work carried out to carry water down to the vineyards below. Continue your hike to the Mayens d'Arbaz, where the "Café du Lac" bus stop allows you to easily return to the plain or your vehicle.
