Sion’s vineyards are well irrigated by three bisses (irrigation channels) and three hiking paths follow these. They have a very gentle gradient, go through several interesting and pittoresque areas, with educational panels that guide you through the sensory delights of the natural wonders and vineyards here. You’ll also find a good deal of information on the work in the vines, the region’s wine producers and grape varieties…

Built in 1453 by the Vénérable Chapitre de la Cathédrale de Sion to irrigate the vines belonging to the communes of Ayent, Grimisuat and Sion: its source is in the wild gorges of the Lienne and it empties below, in the Sionne, from the heights above the town of Sion.
