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.

Domaine des Îles in Sion: a day of nature and leisure with family
Between lakes, beaches, and wide open spaces, the Domaine des Îles in Sion is a breath of fresh air for families. You can play, swim, cycle, picnic… without rushing.
Why choose Sion for a family sports & leisure outing?
Because the Valais capital caters to all ages within a tiny radius: a miniature train for the little ones, tree climbing for 6-12 year olds, indoor surfing and freefall for thrill-seeking teens. Few cities offer such a range.
The Domaine des Îles simplifies everything: you park the car once, and everyone finds their program — some in the trees, others by the water. Be sure to book for Alaïa Bay and RealFly, especially during school holidays.
