Mszana Gorna: Sion Golf Club
Among the places of Valais, Sion Golf Club stands out for its 18-hole course on the floor of the Rhône Valley, enclosed by Alpine slopes. Founded in 1959, the club is part of a settled valley corridor where orchards, vineyards and towns occupy the broad plain between the mountains. Mature trees and carefully maintained fairways give the grounds their parkland character, while the Rhône is the valley’s principal river. The club lies near Sion, the cantonal capital, whose Tourbillon Castle and Basilica of Valère crown two separate hills above the old town. Golf and agriculture share this central-Valais landscape, shaped by the close meeting of valley floor and mountain terrain.

Mszana Górna is best known within Lesser Poland for its setting in the Mszanka valley beneath the Gorce Mountains. The village lies south of Mszana Dolna, where the Mszanka joins the Raba, in a transition zone between the Gorce and the Beskid Wyspowy range. Its rural settlement pattern, with homes and farmland extending along the valley and lower slopes, reflects the Carpathian foothills’ long agricultural tradition. Forested ridges nearby make the area a useful base for following local roads and walking routes into the mountains.

The Vistula valley and the Carpathian foothills shape much of Lesser Poland Voivodeship, linking Kraków’s metropolitan life with farming districts and mountain tourism along its southern edge. Kraków, Poland’s former royal capital, remains the cultural centre: Wawel Castle and the medieval Old Town stand above the river, within a UNESCO World Heritage-listed historic core. Farther south, the Dunajec cuts through the Pieniny, while the Tatra Mountains form a highland frontier with Slovakia. The Wieliczka Salt Mine, worked from the Middle Ages, recalls the importance of salt to the old Polish state.

Poland stretches from the Baltic Sea coast in the north to the Carpathian Mountains along its southern frontier, encompassing broad lowlands, lake districts and upland ranges. The Vistula, the country’s longest river, links Kraków and Warsaw before reaching the Baltic near Gdańsk, while the Masurian Lake District is defined by a dense network of lakes. Kraków’s historic centre, including Wawel Castle, recalls Poland’s former royal capital; Warsaw’s rebuilt Old Town speaks to the city’s recovery after the Second World War. The Białowieża Forest preserves one of Europe’s last primeval lowland forests and is home to European bison. Follow how Poland’s regions relate to one another by browsing webcams across the country.
