シピの滝・トップ12

Not only is cycling prohibited here, but even carrying bicycles is prohibited. You are neither allowed to push nor carry your bike! Possibly even possessing a bicycle is a criminal offense. This isn't clearly indicated at the entrance; there's just a crossed-out biker on a bicycle. After pushing our bikes 2km and about 300 meters in elevation to the Col de Cou, we fell victim to state-sanctioned highway robbery and paid 50 CHF per person (July 30, 2025).

Nice view. Hiking path goes along very steep steps. Hold on to the rope

That water is so clear, I refill my drinking bottle every time I come here since I was little. This is not an official "You can drink that" but I do every time.

Awesome view and experience but steep wooden stairs. Hold on to the rope

From here you have a fantastic view of the pristine Tièche valley. The valley is a small natural paradise with waterfalls, larch forests and preserved mountain pastures. Further down, the Tiéche flows into the Raspille, which also marks the linguistic border of the canton of Valais. Water from the Tièche is also transported to the vineyards around Crans-Montana via the old Suone de Tsittoret irrigation canal.

The Pichioc waterfall is a wonderful place. The waterfall itself is not too huge. The water is very cold and can be turbulent, so if you want to go into the river, cross with caution.

Along the route, you pass several mountain streams that carve the steep slope and sometimes tumble down small waterfalls. Sometimes you can also see parts of old wooden water pipes that once supplied water to meadows and towns in the lower Alps. Today, these water pipes have largely fallen into disrepair and are only intact in a few places.
