At the airport
Agree the airport pickup or check the current Sion Airport bus-stop connection to the station. The compact terminal does not remove the need for a baggage and transfer buffer.
Flying into Sion Airport for a ski holiday
Sion Airport (SIR) is a compact Valais airport near Sion town and the Rhône valley. It can shorten the road approach to Crans-Montana and Verbier, while Zermatt requires a car-free final connection from Täsch or a rail journey through Visp. The airport terminal is separate from Sion railway station; arrange that first leg by the current local bus service or a taxi. Flight availability is more limited than at the larger Swiss airports, so check the actual schedule before building a ski itinerary around Sion. Compare the whole hotel journey rather than assuming every resort has a direct airport bus. When choosing an arrival time, you can compare flights to Sion Airport and check whether it leaves enough time for the last coach or train into the mountains.
Winter travel
Confirm flight operation and the last valley-to-resort connection. Ordinary cars end in Täsch for Zermatt, and high resort roads can add time during snow.
