Sion and Valais: an economy with many faces
Sion is the capital of the Canton of Valais. Its economy reflects that of the canton: tourism plays a central role, with mountain resorts, hotels and restaurants. Energy is another pillar, as Valais is a major hydroelectric production region in Switzerland. Wine-growing and agriculture also strongly shape the Rhône valley.
The region has also turned to education and research, with HES-SO Valais-Wallis and an EPFL campus in Sion. Around these pillars, many SMEs work in construction, real estate, healthcare, retail and business services.
Typical needs of businesses in Valais
Several features of Valais shape digital needs:
- Seasonality: in high season, enquiries pour in; in low season, teams are smaller. Tools must absorb these variations.
- A varied clientele: Swiss and foreign tourists, second-home owners, local clients, often in several languages.
- Distances: between the valley floor and the resorts, teams are often on the move and need up-to-date information on mobile.
- Administrative workload: bookings, contracts, invoicing and property management take a lot of time.
