Sent was once a small town, known as a municipality, located in the Inn district of Graubünden, a large canton in Switzerland. It was a charming place nestled in the mountains.
However, on January 1, 2015, Sent joined forces with several other nearby towns. These included Ardez, Guarda, Tarasp, and Ftan. All these places became part of the larger Scuol municipality. This change means Sent is no longer a separate municipality but is now a part of Scuol.
