LOCATION

A central and privileged location

Located opposite the SBB railway station and a short distance from Switzerland’s largest bus station, the venue is at the intersection between the city of today and the city of tomorrow.

Sion, Swiss capital
of the Alps

Overlooked by its two castles, Valère and Tourbillon, Sion stands out for its friendly atmosphere, sunny climate and rich historical heritage.

An impetus
for innovation

The Valais capital is committed to education, research and innovation. The Energypolis Campus brings together students and researchers from all over the world on the same site.

Cour de Gare
district

Shops, offices, and housing, as well as a hotel, concerts hall and conference centre. As a multifunctional complex just a stone’s throw from the station, the Cour de Gare will further enhance the city’s overall appeal.
