Hoi hikers,

Let's go hike along 3 famous Suonen/Bisses in Wallis.

Suonen: artificial irrigation canals, usually open gravity canals that cross slopes in mountainous regions. In these canals, water flows from a higher starting point to a lower end point according to the law of gravity. The purpose of these canals is to transport water from the areas with higher rainfall to the agricultural areas. Accompanying paths were usually created for maintenance and upkeep, often very exposed. Many of these paths are now used as tourist hiking trails. See levadas in Madeira.

More info: on the official website and a nice description on Silvie's hiking blog.

Weather forecast: Chilly and sunny without snow. Ausserberg

• The hike will last ca. 5,5 - 6 hours with a lot of viewpoints.
• There is parallel route option through a tunnel through a tunnel (headlamp needed), where you can bypass the most exposed part.
  
• Short lunch break halfway.
• The pace will be medium with enough time to admire the landscape.

Equipment:

• Proper hiking boots, poles, snacks, enough water, sunscreen, proper clothes acc. to the weather, optional headlamp, good mood and fitness.

Additional notes

• The organizer is no professional guide. Participants are responsible for themselves, must do their own research about the route, and must be able to navigate by themselves (in case the groups split for some reason, for example).
• Out of respect for the others, please be on time. If you happen to be late, contact the organizer.
• If you have a No Show in your profile (= you did not show up to a hike you signed up to in the past), I may exclude you from the event.
• Unjoining allowed until 12 hours before the start of the event. If you are unable to be join for whatever reason, contact the organizer.
