A city in the Canton of Valais, Sion is located at an altitude of 500m, in a valley along the Rhône, surrounded by the Swiss mountains and winter sports resorts. There are numerous access points to the summits with Crans-Montana, Verbier and many other resorts not far away!

Sion is the capital of the canton of Valais and is considered the sunniest city in Switzerland. Thanks to its central location, the small town with a lot of culture is also a suitable starting point for discovering the summer and winter holiday resorts in the nearby Valais side valleys.

Sion can be recognized from afar by the towers of the Tourbillon and Valeria castles rising into the sky. These landmarks watch over the capital of Valais with its 30,000 inhabitants. Past and future merge seamlessly in one of the oldest cities in Switzerland with its 7,000-year-old history. Today Sion is the economic center of Valais and an important transport hub with its own international airport.

Sion is located in the middle of one of the most important wine regions in Switzerland. The white wine from the region, Fendant, is particularly well known.

For cyclists, for example, Sion is is known as a stage destination of the Tour de Romandie, where the professional cyclists last reached in 2016 at the end of a time trial that the Frenchman Thibaut Pinot won.
