Itinerary
Start
This route begins below Vercorin by the abandoned route of the ancient bisse des Sarrasins. For safety reasons, the first part of the route is not open to the public.
This first part crosses a wall of vertical rocks with difficulty similar to a via ferrata.
After this part of the route you join the bisse Siphon and the bridge of the « araignée » (or bridge Siphon) which many amateurs perform a bungee jump of 190 meters high. As part of the tour organized by “No Limit Experience” (www.nolimitexperience.ch), and following the first part of the course along the Bisse des Sarrasins, you have the possibility to make a zip line over the gorges of the Navizence before making a recall of about 180 meters to reach the bed of the river Navizence and continue to Chalais following the spectacular old route of the bisse Ricard and join your starting point.
