Top Reasons to Go

The Matterhorn: Shutter-snap this glorious enigma from all angles, be it a luxury hotel room at its base or the sky-high Gornegrat-Monte Rosa Bahn.

Be a Downhill Racer: Get to know your snow at fabled ski resorts like Crans-Montana and Verbier (and the nearby lovely lift villages).

Cantonal Capitol: Presided over by the castle of Tourbillon, Sion is a fortified link in the giant web of precipitous passes.

Going to the Dogs: Credited with saving so many lives, the revered St. Bernards still accept thanks at their Col du Grand St-Bernard hospice.
