Sports & Leisure in Sion
Sion has become a unique family sports destination in French-speaking Switzerland. The Domaine des Îles alone offers a full day: an adventure park in the trees, a miniature train ride with Les Îles Vapeur Parc, nature, and swimming by the water.
And for thrill-seekers, two experiences that are almost nowhere else to be found: surfing a real wave at Alaïa Bay, or flying in a freefall simulator at RealFly — accessible much earlier than one might think.
Here is our selection of sports and leisure activities to do with family in Sion.
