Sion
View over the Rhône Valley

Before visiting the basilica, be sure to admire the view from this panoramic west-facing terrace. Beyond its old town, Sion is too modern and urbanised to be charming, but the views over the valley and mountains are spectacular. The peaks on either side of the mast are, on the left, the Grand Chavalard (2899m) and, on the right, the Haut de Cry (2969m), still well covered in snow in this early spring.
