The medieval town of Sion in the canton of Valais is idyllically positioned in the Rhône valley. Numerous attractive excursion options are available in the surrounding area (such as the famous mountain villages of Zermatt or Saas Fee, amidst the 4000-metre peaks of the Alps), it is worth planning some extra time before or after the course. Refreshment from the summer heat, which is common in Sion, is possible in the lake Les Illes just outside the town.
