About Sierre
The capital of the district of the same name, Sierre sits in the Valais canton with a population of about 16,332 inhabitants. It's nicknamed the "City of the Sun", as this is one town basking in warm rays of sunshine 300 days of the year. The last French-speaking city in Valais before the language border of the lingo of French and German, there is a small number of locals speaking in German. Home to the heritage site of national significance, the power station and buildings of the Alusuisse company, the town and its surrounds do form part of the "Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites". Traditionally a town known for its winemaking, this is where you can trample Rèze grapes to produce a sherry-style Swiss wine known as "Vin des glaciers". From making wine to creating startups, Sierre has its fair share of intrepid souls haunting coworking venues in creative mode.
Switzerland is not all about chocolate, cowbells ringing and wine making, as it's a country of tech savvy souls and home to global banks plus 15 Fortune 500 companies. No wonder coworking spaces have opened their doors in this area when the whole country's population has adopted technology. The advantage of working in Sierre is the fact that you take a hike or indulge in some cross-country skiing when you need a break from your laptop.
