Sport Club Residences & Spa

Eight kilometres from the Crans-Montana cable car base, Sport Club Residences & Spa anchors itself in Sion's old town quarter, where the twin fortress hills of Valère and Tourbillon frame the skyline above the property.

The five-star address centres on its spa rather than its room count — thermal circuits, altitude-recovery pools, and a training facility calibrated for skiers returning from high-elevation runs. Rooms are residence-style with kitchen fittings, suited to multi-night alpine stays.

Sion sits at the floor of the Rhône Valley with direct rail links to Lausanne in under an hour. The Saturday farmers' market on Place du Midi, four blocks away, runs year-round with Valais apricot and raclette producers selling direct.
