The hub

Sion, a private aviation
crossroads of the continent

Sion (French: Sion, German: Sitten) is the capital of the Canton of Valais, with a permanent population of approximately 34,000. Its economic profile is shaped by cantonal administration, viticulture — Valais produces over a third of Switzerland's wine — and year-round alpine tourism anchored by Verbier, Crans-Montana, Zermatt, and Saas-Fee. These four resorts collectively draw a high concentration of UHNWI traffic between December and March, with a secondary peak during July and August.

Sion Airport (LSGS/SIR) operates with a 2,000-metre paved runway capable of handling aircraft up to the midsize category, including the Citation XLS+, Phenom 300E, and Pilatus PC-24. The field sits at 482 metres AMSL, keeping density altitude performance penalties minimal under standard winter conditions. Operating hours run 06:00–20:00 local with extensions available by prior arrangement — a relevant factor for evening arrivals during the Verbier Festival or WEF-adjacent positioning movements. Customs clearance is available during published hours with advance notice; international arrivals must coordinate with Swiss customs in advance.

The airport hosts dedicated general aviation handling and a helicopter transfer infrastructure that reduces surface transit times significantly: Verbier is 15 minutes by heli versus 45 minutes by road, and Crans-Montana drops from 30 minutes to 12. This rotary connection makes Sion the operationally preferred fixed-wing entry point for the Valais corridor, particularly when road conditions are compromised by snow or when peak ski season generates road congestion on the Route Cantonale.

Arrivals

Arrivals in Sion

Inbound flights to Sion land at the dedicated private aviation terminal or an adjacent field closer to downtown — your concierge picks the optimal arrival based on customs hours, ground-transfer time and the runway length your jet category needs. Most Sion arrivals can be confirmed 24–48 hours ahead; during high-demand weeks (sports finals, fashion weeks, ski breaks, summer peaks) inbound slots fill 5–7 days out. The arrival terminal typically offers VIP lounges, dedicated customs and immigration channels, conference rooms, premium catering and pre-arranged luxury ground transport. Helicopter transfers from the airport to nearby resorts, downtown helipads or onward destinations can be added to any inbound charter.
