Sent in the Engadine Valley

view map

Sent is another of the charming villages. It nestles on a sunny terrace about 400 metres above the valley floor. Its dominating landmark is the neo-gothic tower of its parish church. Sent was able to preserve many beautiful old houses in local style, decorated with sgraffiti and a specialty called "Senter Giebel" - a Baroque gable. Sent is not overrun with tourists at all - I have no idea why. It is fun to stroll along the cobbled alleys, watch the different sgraffiti decorated houses, the blooming flowers in the gardens, enjoy the stunning views of the mountains vis-a-vis, rest at a bench on a small square with well ... etc.

Le clocher de l'église est typique des églises de montagne. C'est une très belle image.
