Sion (VS)

Park&Ride, practical and fast!

Using a combination of various types of public transportation to get to work or for recreational activities is called intermodality. It is also possible to use different means of transport for the same destination.

Three means of transport for one destination!

Together PostBus, RegionAlps and Bus Sédunois offer an extended range of timetables and connections. This multi-modal availability is an ideal opportunity to experience new stress-free and sustainable means of transport. Don’t hesitate! Give your car a rest and find out how convenient public transportation is.

Changes in the neighbourhoods of Champsec and Bramois

The timetable changes implemented in December 2015 resulted in modifications on routes BS2 to the hospital and BS5 to Bramois.

1. Route BS2 now serves Vissigen, the hospital and SUVA, without stopping at Champsec. Time savings: 6 minutes on return trips from the hospital.
2. Route BS5 to Bramois now serves the Champsec neighbourhood. Time savings: 7 minutes from Champsec to the railway station.
3. The bus stop “Valais de Coeur Champsec” has been moved. It is now located in front of the Tourbillon Centre shopping mall and served by route BS5 to Bramois.
