Stade Tourbillon is Sion’s iconic stadium and a natural stage for big match nights. Opened in 1968 and renovated in 1989, it blends classic stadium architecture with practical covered stands and an atmosphere that carries every event from start to finish. With a capacity of around 14,000 spectators, it is home to FC Sion and a venue where local passion turns into a true spectacle.
Inside, you’ll find strong sightlines toward the pitch, a compact bowl that keeps you close to the action, and a lively crowd dynamic that elevates the experience. Visitors appreciate clear entry organization, a solid selection of food and drink kiosks, and the comfort of covered seating sections—especially helpful when conditions outside are unpredictable.
The stadium is located at Rue des Echutes 38, 1950 Sion, Switzerland. The easiest approach by car is via the Sion-Est motorway exit, then follow signs to the nearest parking areas; arriving by train, plan for about a 15-minute walk to the entrances, with the Sion, Tourbillon bus stop nearby.
