Family route along an old bisse to the Tsissette
The Bisse de la Tour diverted water from the Torrent de l'A, at the foot of the Tour de Bavon at 1,805 m to lead it over the heights of Vichères after 3.3 km. It is no longer supplied with water nowadays.
As for the hut, it was renovated in 2020!
Author’s recommendation
If you have time, extend the route by escaping into the Combe de l'A to observe the local wildlife.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
