Sion

The old town, the castles and the museums make the capital of the Valais one of the most important crossroads in western Switzerland. Sion also benefits from an international airport and good motorway and rail connections. The city nestles in the heart of one of the major Swiss wine-growing areas and is particularly renowned for its “fendant” that one can taste in any number of outlets in the city. Its proximity to many famous resorts (Zermatt, Saas-fee, Crans-Montana…) as well as numerous sporting, cultural and astronomical events make it a focal point for visitors.
