The city of Sion is the capital of the Swiss canton of Valais and is often referred to as the most 'sun blessed' city in Switzerland. Sion is instantly recognisable by the high towers of the Castle of Valeria and Castle Tourbillon. Hiring a car in Sion lets you travel to the Barrage de la Grande Dixence, a 285m high dam which takes 45 minutes to hike to the top of. There is also the opportunity to take the cable car ride if you don't fancy the walk.
The International Music Festival of Sion Valais has been running for more than 40 years and hiring a car in Sion means that you won't miss out. The festival is a must visit if you are in the city between August and September. It features a series of 11 concerts that you can attend showcasing top artists. Discover the varied history of the city by visiting the Valais History Museum where 50,000 years of history comes together. You can view Roman antiques and medieval sculptures that are housed in a restored medieval castle
