The town, with a population of approximately thirty-four thousand people, lies in the valley of the River Rhône and is surrounded by a beautiful mountain range, which includes the mountains Haut de Cry and Grand Chavalard. Both mountains are just under three thousand metres high. It is well connected to other major Swiss cities by the railway network and the A9 motorway. Sion has also a small regional airport with a few international air links.

The capital of Valais offers several worth-seeing landmarks such as Basilique de Valère, a fortified church constructed on a hill, and Château de Tourbillon, a beautiful castle on the opposite hill of Basilique de Valère. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy numerous activities such as hiking, mountain biking, and golfing. Summers in Sion are comparatively warm.
