Sexten, Mountain village at 1310 meters in South Tyrol, Italy

Sexten extends across 80 square kilometers in a branch of the Puster Valley, bordering the Carnic Alps and the Sexten Dolomites nature park.

The settlement name derives from Latin 'ad horam sextam', first documented in 965 AD, referring to its location south of Innichen.

The municipal emblem displays three silver peaks with a black chamois in the center, representing the Three Peaks of the Dolomites region.

The village functions as a base for skiing, hiking, and mountain activities, with direct access to numerous trails in the Dolomites.

Professional tennis player Jannik Sinner grew up in this municipality where 95 percent of residents speak German as their first language.
