About Savièse
Savièse is not one village but six, spread across a plateau at about 820 m on the right bank of the Rhône high above Sion, with Saint-Germain as the main one. Around 8,000 people live in the municipality, which climbs north to the Bernese Alps and the Sanetsch Pass into the Saanenland. It is one of the canton's major wine-growing areas, and the ruins of Soie Castle, built in the 13th century, stand within its boundary. The homes listed here are spread around Sion and the slopes nearby rather than concentrated on the plateau. Many have a garden; check each listing for amenities. For evenings, Sion's old town has bars and restaurants.
Is Savièse right for you?
- Best for
- Walkers and wine lovers wanting Sion within easy reach
