Sion

The charming capital of Switzerland's Valais canton, Sion is both a financial center and a rewarding tourist destination. A gem located in the heart of the country, Sion's sweeping alpine skyline is further enhanced by its most notable landmarks-the castles of Tourbillon and Valeria. Its centuries-old history can be discovered through its preserved medieval Old Town, dotted with local museums, heritage buildings and numerous churches, one of which is home to the oldest playable organ in the world. A sun-dappled destination, Sion also enjoys its location in one of the nation's most notable wine-growing regions.
