Sion
POP 29,700 / ELEV 490M
French-speaking Sion is bewitching. The serpentine Rhône River bisects Sion and a twin-
set of 13th-century hilltop châteaux play guard atop a pair of craggy rock hills.
Sion moves to a relaxed beat, with winemaking (and tasting) playing an essential role in
the town's mantra and pavement cafes lining the helter-skelter of quaint lanes that thread
sharply downhill from its castles to medieval Old Town.
