Hotels in Valais - Swiss Youth Hostels

Countless hours of sunshine, a warm wind and the most exquisite light in Switzerland await you in Sion, the capital of the canton of Valais. It’s not uncommon for people passing through to end up staying here a while, because the lifestyle in this small town is based on southern charm, a fluid mix of tradition and modernity, and proximity to the side valleys of Valais and thus the mountains above.

2,090 hours. That's how much sunshine Valais sees per year on average. It’s certainly one reason why daily life in Martigny has such a southern feel. The fruit is sweet, the wine full-bodied, the nature impressive and the cultural life so lively. Connoisseurs should therefore definitely take a closer look at this area.
