The majestic castle overlooks the Rhone Valley, opposite the castle of Valère. It is one of the four castles of Sion. Built in the 13th century by Boniface de Challant, it was damaged in the 15th century by the Valaisan patriots, then restored by William VI of Raron, who added a chapel. The castle of Tourbillon was then the summer residence of the bishops until the fire of 1788. Classified as a historic monument by the Canton of Valais at the beginning of the last century, Tourbillon was recognised as a site of national importance by the Confederation in 1970.

Un des plus beaux châteaux de Suisse
Imposant au sommet de son rocher, il est parfaitement situé pour surveiller le Rhône. Visite très instructive et musée très fourni

Les deux châteaux de Sion sont Valère et Tourbillon. Valère est plus intéressant à visiter. La vue depuis les châteaux est imprenable. Déconseillé par forte chaleur.
