Sion
Sion, or Sitten in German, is located in the Valais at the mouth of the Sionne River on the Rhone. It is the city in Switzerland with the most hours of sunshine. The long history of settlement begins as early as the Stone Age and comes alive on a tour of the museums. The pretty old town also features buildings and numerous monuments from different eras. The towers of the Tourbillon and Valeria castles can already be seen from a distance. They are considered the landmarks of the city. Sion is surrounded by vineyards, which are characterized by the "Suonen" (irrigation canals). The bus station is the largest in Switzerland and takes visitors very quickly to the charming side valleys of the Valais.

“This cave is simply one of a kind.”
“Excellent tour with interesting, engaging commentary.”
“For me, it was a very good guided tour, even though, as a long-time resident of Einsiedeln (Matura 1964), I already knew quite a lot. On today's visit, I brought along a young man from the neighbourhood who had never been to Einsiedeln before. It was an interesting experience for both of us.”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My first-ever paragliding experience in Interlaken, Switzerland, and it was absolutely amazing! 🇨🇭🪂 The views were breathtaking, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. A huge thank you to my awesome pilot, Tinu, for making me feel safe and comfortable the entire time. He was friendly, professional, and made the whole experience so much fun! And of course, my “George Clooney look-alike” pilot 😂 Definitely one of the highlights of my Switzerland trip. I would 100% do it again! Danke schön, Tinu! ❤️”
“Wonderful, very professional.”
