About this venue

Stade Tourbillon is Sion’s iconic stadium and a natural stage for big match nights. Opened in 1968 and renovated in 1989, it blends classic stadium architecture with practical covered stands and an atmosphere that carries every event from start to finish. With a capacity of around 14,000 spectators, it is home to FC Sion and a venue where local passion turns into a true spectacle.

Inside, you’ll find strong sightlines toward the pitch, a compact bowl that keeps you close to the action, and a lively crowd dynamic that elevates the experience. Visitors appreciate clear entry organization, a solid selection of food and drink kiosks, and the comfort of covered seating sections—especially helpful when conditions outside are unpredictable.

The stadium is located at Rue des Echutes 38, 1950 Sion, Switzerland. The easiest approach by car is via the Sion-Est motorway exit, then follow signs to the nearest parking areas; arriving by train, plan for about a 15-minute walk to the entrances, with the Sion, Tourbillon bus stop nearby.

About the city: Sion

Sion, also known as Sitten, is the charming capital of the Canton of Valais, blending an Alpine feel with a lively urban rhythm—an ideal setting for top sports and live music experiences. Compact yet vibrant, the city makes it easy to plan a night out while still leaving room to explore its local character before or after the main event.

One of Sion’s biggest strengths is how practical it is to get around: the local city-bus network Bus Sédunois helps you move smoothly between districts and reach key points quickly, while Gare de Sion serves as the natural hub for arrivals and connections for anyone coming by train. If you’re flying in, Sion Airport (Aéroport de Sion) is nearby, and the city’s overall infrastructure supports straightforward transfers toward arenas and stadiums—without the stress of complicated logistics.

When you have time for a sightseeing “bonus,” Sion rewards you with views and stories: the medieval Old Town lies between two hills, crowned by the Valère Basilica and the ruins of Tourbillon Castle. A walk through the historic streets and viewpoints above the Rhône Valley adds a special tempo to the whole stay, rounding out the experience of a city that hosts big events just as naturally as it delivers calm, picture-perfect moments.
