Sion, the capital of the canton of Valais, is one of Switzerland’s oldest cities, blending 2,000 years of history with a vibrant modern lifestyle. Surrounded by vineyards and crowned by twin hilltop castles, Sion offers rich culture and sunny charm year-round.
The cobbled streets of the old town are lined with historic buildings, quaint shops, and lively cafés, perfect for a relaxed stroll with mountain views. Thanks to its dry, inner-Alpine location, Sion boasts some of the most sunshine hours in Switzerland, creating a Mediterranean-like atmosphere.
Sion is at the heart of Swiss wine country, surrounded by terraced vineyards producing some of the best Petite Arvine and Heida wines in the Alps.
