Aptly
named, this bright, modern two-star address just off the main street is the best place to
stay in town. Rooms, painted soft apricot hues, are not quite as bold as the pillar-box-red
reception.

An institution among locals for its great food and
convivial vibe, this old-style bistro with the biggest pavement terrace on Rue du Grand-
Pont only uses the best local produce. The icing on the cake is its Val d'Hérens beef pre-
pared just as you like it.

A 10-minute uphill walk from the Old Town is this salmon-pink townhouse with red-
wine wooden shutters - Sion's most exciting gastronomic address. Young chef Jacques
Bovier works with strictly seasonal and local products to create a dining experience that
thrills every time. Summer dining is in a dreamy flowery garden with terraced vineyard
view. Advance reservations essential.
