Mindre stad · Valais, 🇨🇭 Schweiz

Sierre is a town in the Valais, on the sunny slopes of the Rhone valley, at the border between the French- and German-speaking parts. It is one of the sunniest towns in Switzerland. Vineyards cover the hills around it.

The town is known for wine and as the poet Rainer Maria Rilke's last home. It is a base for wine walks and for the Val d'Anniviers.
