Dominated by its two emblematic castles, Valère and Tourbillon, Sion has established itself as the Swiss capital of the Alps. The city is characterised by its dynamism, its conviviality, its sunny climate and its rich historical and archaeological heritage. All these assets make it a quality destination. Sion is the political and administrative capital of Valais and the economic engine of the Agglo Valais central. It promotes a development model integrating cities and mountains and relies on innovation to enhance its position in the fields of health, energy and geosciences. As a training city, it is home to many higher education institutions, including EPFL’s largest decentralised branch, the University of Engineering and the University of Health of the HES-SO Valais-Wallis, as well as several research institutes. A city of culture and meeting, Sion is endowed with many theatres, cultural centres, museums and galleries.
