Sent: Graubünden, Schweiz
Few places in Grisons have a history as closely tied to the Romansh language as Sent. Set on a terrace above the Inn in the Lower Engadin, this compact village preserves a strongly local building tradition: substantial plastered houses, deep-set windows and façades decorated with sgraffito. Romansh remains part of everyday identity here, with Vallader the traditional written idiom of the Lower Engadin. Sent’s lanes and small central square sit against a steep alpine setting, while the valley below links the village with Scuol and the rest of the Engadin.

Sent has served as a Romansh settlement in the Lower Engadine since at least the 10th century. Set on a sunny terrace above the Inn valley in Switzerland’s Grisons canton, it is now part of the municipality of Scuol and faces the slopes of the Engadin Alps. Its compact centre preserves traditional Engadin houses, recognisable by their solid walls and sgraffito ornamentation, a decorative craft long associated with this alpine region. Romansh remains a living part of local identity, with the Vallader variety spoken across the Lower Engadine. Sent also provides access to walking routes and winter sports terrain in the valley.

The terrain of Grisons ranges from high Alpine valleys in the south to the broad Rhine valley in the north, shaping Switzerland’s largest and most linguistically diverse canton. The Inn flows through the Engadin, while the Rhine has long connected Chur, the cantonal capital, with the rest of central Europe. Romansh remains a defining regional language alongside German and Italian. The Rhaetian Railway’s Albula and Bernina lines, recognised by UNESCO, cross dramatic mountain country with remarkable engineering.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
