Events & activities
A true Valaisan tradition, the « bisses » were created in the 14th century in order to irrigate the land by diverting the water from the rivers and channelling it along the mountain slopes. The bisses trails are ideal for families. 8 bisses, 6 of which are still in water, represent 100 km of trails between Nendaz and Veysonnaz.
Oursons club (4-9 yo) : during summer, Veysonnaz organises various outdoor activities such as treasure hunts, insect observations, pony rides, swimming pool outings… Sun&Fun club (from 10 yo) : MTB, scooter, laser game in the forest, hiking…
