Your summer in the heart of the Valais canton, at an altitude of from 500 to 4,357 m.

What could be better than roaming freely between the Matterhorn and Mont-Blanc, Jungfrau and Wildhorn?

The region of Sion offers you the best of the Alps. Imagine a region that allows you to move from one moment to the next from the hidden secrets of Sion, Switzerland’s oldest town, to the most impressive peaks in the very heart of the Alps. A region where gastronomy is synonymous with local produce and friendly service. A place bathed in sunshine that offers a wide range of cultural and sporting activities and where the words pristine nature and preservation take on their true meaning. You are not dreaming; Anzère, Sion and Veysonnaz, as well as Val d’Hérens and its holiday facilities: Evolène, Nax and Thyon invite you to enjoy your summer in peace and tranquillity. In the plains or at altitude, make the most of the numerous sporting and cultural activities on offer and, to end the day on a high note, discover the region’s gastronomic and wine-growing specialities.
