The Swiss Alps / Valais/Swiss Alps region
The Thyon/Les Collons region is nestled right in the heart of the Valais Alps, in the French speaking part of Switzerland – one of the sunniest regions in Switzerland. Just 35 minute drive from Sion, the capital of the Valais, it offers spectacular mountain views of the Dent Blanche, the Matterhorn and the Val des Dix.

This means you can ski from Thyon right across the valleys to Verbier and Mont Fort glacier. Snow from December to April. Free ski bus around resort/up to Thyon 2000. The ski area above Les Collons has wide open and sunny slopes. There are ski schools in both Les Collons and Thyon 2000. Local ski hire/sports shops.
Summer: The pastures burst into bloom and you are surrounded by the beautiful flora and fauna and fruit trees in the Valais. Sample the quality local wines on a guided wine-tasting tour.
