The Grand Bisse de Vercorin dates from the end of the 14th century. This bisse gets its water from the Rèche at an altitude of 1685 m (La Lé) and carries it to Vercorin. Never dry, the Bisse de Vercorin offers a magnificent walk through the Vallon de Réchy (nature reserve) and is the ideal access to one of the last valleys in the canton that remains inaccessible to cars.

Constructed almost 500 years ago, the Bisse des Sarrasins used to irrigate the pastures. Having been recently restored, it is now accessible on foot, offering a walk of real historical, technical and touristic interest. Some challenging sections when crossing the rock face across from Fang.
