Welcome to the heart of the Valais! Sion is your starting point for an adventure of discovery, from the alleys of the mediaeval town centre to the majestic mountain summits of the Valais Alps.
The church of the Château de Valère in Sion is home to the oldest playable organ in the world. At night, a fascinating sound-and-light show brings the town's rich history back to life. Not far from the town, hidden from the world, lies the largest underwater lake in Europe that is navigable by boat: on a tour you can learn some of its extraordinary secrets.

Battle of the Queens
In an open-air arena framed by the high peaks of the Valais, feisty cows of Hérens breed battle for the honour to walk at the head of their herd. Inside the arena, the bovine stars lock horns, pushing and shoving until a winner is declared - and crowned Queen of the Alp.
Families
Educational farm in Hérémence, horse rides from the Ranch des Maragnères, visits to the castles at Sion - there's plenty for families to do.
