2/3 of the Sesvenna Mountains belong to Switzerland. A small part of the mountain range also belongs to the Swiss National Park. However, you can also explore the Italian part, where the best starting point is the mountain village of Schlinig – Slingia. From here you can walk through the longest valley on the Italian side of the mountain range, but above all you will come across a beautiful waterfall here. Ascents to beautiful lakes or mountain peaks are also possible from the mountain cottages
