Sion, located 39 km (43 minutes by car) from Leukerbad, is the capital of the Canton of Valais and it is known as the most sun-blessed town of Switzerland. Thanks to its central location, the small town is abounding with culture. Sion is recognizable from afar thanks to the high towers of Castle Tourbillon and the Castle of Valeria. These landmarks guard the capital of Valais and its 30,000 inhabitants. Past and future blend in one of Switzerland’s oldest cities. Sion, which boasts a 7,000-year history, is today the economic center of Valais and an important traffic junction with its own international airport. The Castle Church of Valeria has one of the world’s oldest playable organs from the late beginning of the 15th Century.
