About Sent
Sent was once the largest village in the Lower Engadine, and it keeps strong Rhaeto-Romanic culture, with traditional cheese-making, butchery and confectionery. Its lanes and houses speak of the emigrant era, when many left and some returned. Parkin Sent, a park by the artist Not Vital, is the main sight. Our homes are all in or right beside the village, mostly small and for about four, with none having a pool and a few a sauna. An hourly PostBus links Scuol station with Sent, and the village is about five minutes by car from the main road near Scuol. The long piste from the Motta Naluns ski area finishes in the village, which has paid underground parking at its entrance.
