In the Lower Valais, close to the canton capital of Sion, the Thyon ski resort is situated on the western side of the Val d’Hérens. Thyon serves as the eastern entrance to Les 4 Four Vallees, one of the largest continuous skiing areas in the Alps, which offers excellent skiing terrain for skiers of all skill levels.
Thyon is the perfect destination for family ski vacations, beginners, and intermediate skiers because the majority of the lodging is child friendly and also perched high up on the side of the mountain with spectacular views of the nearby resorts and peaks, including Crans Montana and the Matterhorn in Zermatt.
