Two castle-topped hills rise straight out of the Rhône valley, vineyards climb every slope, and Sion — capital of the Valais — has been pouring wine and history for 7,000 years.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Sion on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Step inside the shadow of the Cathédrale Notre-Dame du Glarier and its Romanesque tower
• Circle La Grenette, the old grain hall turned city landmark
• Cross the Place du Midi, where old Sion meets the modern town
Around 2 hours, any group size, available in German and French.
By the last riddle, the Valais capital will have uncorked its best stories for you.

What to expect
At the Cathédrale Notre-Dame du Glarier, riddles gather beneath a Romanesque belfry that has survived fires, sieges, and centuries of Valais politics.
La Grenette adds a mercantile chapter: the elegant old grain exchange where farmers once haggled under the arcades, now one of Sion's best-loved buildings.
On the Place du Midi, the trail threads between café terraces and shopfronts where the medieval city gives way to the modern one — with the castle hills of Valère and Tourbillon photobombing every view.
Around 2 hours beneath the vineyards, with Fendant wine stops at your discretion. By the end, Sion will feel like Switzerland's best-kept secret.
