Sion Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

About this activity

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

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

By the last riddle, the Valais capital will have uncorked its best stories for you.
