# 4 is so inspiring, I would love to experience a hike like that. Your photography is perfect advertising for this part of Europe. Thanks for taking us along.

Beautiful set, Joe! That trail is not for the faint of heart.
Thanks John - actually it is basically a very easy, quite flat trail, as it follows the course of the water channel, and that of course comes with just a gentle incline. Overall, the trail leads through plenty of wooded areas and is absolutely not problems, except in the relatively few but exhilarating places where the channel crosses sheer rock faces, like the ones shown in #3 or in my later attachment. There, it is totally safe but one still has to be careful as it can be slippery if the boards are wet - but there are railings. A bit different on the walk in #4: wide and safe enough, but with children one has to be extra careful.

Thanks arperry, glad you liked that family shot in #4 - the Valais in Switzerland is waiting for your visit!

Wow, what breathtaking mountain views Joe. That is some walkway along those cliffs in the third photo. That extra photo that you posted from a different view is something else.

Thanks Vince, that was an interesting visit to a canton we rarely visit, it is just about the furthest away from where we normally function in Switzerland - but it has breathtaking scenery (the famous Matterhorn is also in this canton, though we didn't visit it that last time) and these ancient water channels are unique to this area, vary interesting and real as you even today can walk along them.

Such beautiful countryside/mountainside/lakeside images Joe!! My favorite has to be Susan, along with your beautiful family!
Visually speaking though, #'s 1, 2, 3 and #7 are quite special in my eyes!

Thanks Rob, yes, those walks along these "Bisses" in the mountains, forests and along sheer cliffs were very special for us and I am sure the grand kids will remember these well for a long time to come.
