Les Reines du Valais - showpieces of the living heritage of VAL D' HERENS - are fighting cows, haughty and elegant. You will see them when the cattle are moved up to higher alpine pastures at the beginning of summer or on their return, as the best combatant among them wears the bell decorated with flowers of the appointed champion. The cantonal festival in May crowns the Queen of queens during fierce fights watched by thousands of spectators. Proud of its natural heritage of protected flora and fauna, SION REGION is also home to original sites such as the EUSEIGNE pyramids or the ST-LEONARD underground lake. History lovers meanwhile can immerse themselves in the thousand year old past of our region with guided tours of the old town of Sion against an extraordinary backdrop of sound and light. Cathedrals, museums and castles ... places that will kindle the passion of the most eclectic of minds!
