This live camera looks over Sion Airport, the regional airfield in the Rhône valley of Valais. It is a useful window on the weather and light in one of the sunniest corners of Switzerland, and a quick way to see conditions before travelling into the mountains.
About Sion and the Rhône valley
Sion is the capital of the canton of Valais, sitting on the floor of the Rhône valley at roughly 480 metres above sea level. The town is flanked by steep vineyards on the south-facing slopes and by high Alpine ridges on both sides. The valley is one of the driest parts of Switzerland, which gives the landscape its open, sunlit character and its well-known wines, especially Fendant and Pinot Noir.
What the camera is worth watching for
The camera is aimed at the airport, so its value lies in the sky and the valley around it. Depending on the view, you may see clear morning light, cloud building over the mountains in the afternoon, or fog settling in the valley bottom in cold seasons. Watching at different times of day shows how quickly the valley weather can change, and the live local time on this page helps you match what you see to the hour.
Practical notes and nearby views
Valais has a continental climate with warm summers and cold, relatively dry winters, so visits are pleasant from late spring to early autumn and the ski season runs from December into spring. Sion is well connected by rail along the valley. Other VizCams views in the area include Thyon Matze, Veysonnaz Sommet de la piste de l'Ours, Thyon Trabanta and Thyon Snowpark, all within about six kilometres.
