Valere Basilica

Reviewed By thegreenwizard - Fort Lauderdale, United States

As every year, in the summer every Saturday afternoon, there is a concert with this old organ. The organ is in the minor basilica of Valère. Each concert is different with musician coming from around the world to interpret various pieces of musics, mainly pieces that are not so common for the no connoisseurs of organ music.

Chateau de Tourbillon

Reviewed By Tarojo

This hilltop castle is imposing in its own right but the highlight of climbing up to see it is the views back to the Church-Fortress of Valere, directly opposite. Allow about an hour to explore both. They are a 20 min walk from the station in Sion. We explored the church first (an easier climb) and then went up to the chateau. Rate this pair as up there with Chateau Chillon for wow factor.
