Create a trail game or treasure hunt in Sion
To create a treasure hunt in Sion, the places are already there: Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Sion, Église Saint-Théodule de Sion, Château de Valère. All that is left is to place your stops, write the riddles and share the link: players follow the route on their phones.
In Sion, the quest is still to be written
Here is what it could look like: the stops already exist in the city, the riddles do not yet.

Sion is recognised by its two hills, each topped by a building: the Château de Valère, with its fortified basilica, and the ruined Château de Tourbillon. Below, the old town gathers the Cathédrale Notre-Dame and the Église Saint-Théodule, a few streets apart. A trail game here alternates flat streets and sloping paths, with the mountains of Valais as a backdrop. Sion has no quest yet: the route is still to be created.
Three possible quests in Sion
Two hills, two castles
An observation route between Valère and Tourbillon: ramparts, towers and views over the plain. Teams note defensive features and rebuild the order of the stops.
The old town for families
Children follow a trail between the Cathédrale Notre-Dame and the Église Saint-Théodule, with doorways, steeples and details to spot. The route stays low, short and without any climb.
An evening of teams in the streets of Sion
For a group of friends, an investigation linking the two churches of the old town and ending at the foot of the Valère hill, with a ranking displayed at the finish.
Sion needs a quest. Who will launch it?
Tourist office, local authority
A route that takes residents and visitors from one place to the next, at their own pace, on their phones. You choose the stops and what is told there: the content stays yours.
