... or the journey to the heart of the Alps in FlightGear MP environment.

Image

Perfectly situated in the heart of the Valais Alps, Sion International Airport is the perfect gateway to famous ski resorts such as Verbier, Crans-Montana, Gstaad, Saas Fee and Zermatt. The airport is geared as a base for business jet operation, and at 2,000 metres, the runway is long enough to accommodate aircraft size up to B-737 VIP Version and the A-320 fleet. Approach guidance into the Rhône Valley. Airport Sion is in close proximity to many famous mountain resorts, so it takes no time to reach your final destination. Zermatt or Gstaad can even be reached by helicopter transfer. The flight duration is less than 15 minutes from Sion Airport.
