Just wow! Welcome to the Breitling Sion Air Show, the largest air show in Switzerland! The Breitling Sion Air Show is a celebration of flight in all its shapes and at the heart of the Alps. The exceptional nature of this event is enhanced by the idyllic setting and by the striking complement of aircraft blending with the natural beauty of the landscape, before rising in the sky to amaze the spectators. History The Valais Air Club has been involved with air gatherings for a long time. In 1982, 1986, 1989 and 1997, planes filled the Valais sky for the enjoyment of a great audience. Air shows are not a recent phenomenon. On October 2nd 1910, the first Swiss air show took place in Avenche, with the presence of three famous pilots: Failloubaz, Grandjean and Cailler. On May 11th 1913, the first "aviation day" took place in Sion. In August 1919 and 1920, aviation days were held in Montana. But it wasn't until later that attendance at these shows really took off. The 1966 Air show was the first of these great events and was followed by air shows in the 1982, 1986, 1989 and 1997 (100,000 paying spectators), as well as a smaller event in 2001. With the passion and enthusiasm of the organizing committee and the oversight of the Sion Airshow Association and its partners, this will be a celebration worth remembering.
