The towers of Castle Tourbillon and the Castle of Valeria make Sion easily identifiable from a distance, guarding the capital of Valais and its 30,000 residents.

Sion is one of Switzerland’s oldest cities, where past and present coexist harmoniously. With a history of 7,000 years, Sion is now an economic hub and a critical transportation junction, complete with its international airport. The Castle Church of Valeria houses one of the world’s oldest playable organs, dating back to the early 15th century. The Old Town has numerous historical landmarks, while the shopping district and modern municipal facilities offer convenience and charm. Visiting one of the many museums is a great way to explore the city’s diverse history and culture, bringing you closer to the southern way of life.
