Sion, the capital of the canton of Valais, lies in the Rhône valley below the twin hills of Valère, topped by its basilica, and Tourbillon, with its castle ruins. The town is French-speaking, while the canton is bilingual, with German spoken in Upper Valais. Sion is one of the sunniest places in Switzerland and is surrounded by vineyards, and since merging with Bramois, Salins and Les Agettes it reaches from the valley floor up towards the mountains. Houses with gardens, vineyards and chalets sit alongside flats in town, so garden work, hedge trimming, clearing out cellars and moving help are common requests, as are cleaning and babysitting. There are no customary moving dates in Valais: your lease decides.
