The Bisse du Sillonin Hike is a fun adventure in Crans Montana that follows along an 8.0 km long water source that dates back to the 14th century and runs across the steep slopes of the Véreillaz, watering meadows and vineyards from Planisses to Flanthey. This is a fantastic hike if you want to take in the incredible valley views.

Setting out from its starting point in Icogne, the Bisse du Sillonin Hike follows a path that leads south through the valley and traverses the slopes of Châtelard Hill, which is crowned by the Christ-Roi statue. Eventually, the trail bends to the east and brings you to the endpoint of the hike in the village of Chelin.
