Säntis, or SENTIS, a mountain on the borders of the Swiss cantons of St Gall and Appenzell, consists of three parallel ridges, separated by deep valleys and connected by lofty saddles. The highest point is 8216 feet above sea-level. There are on the mountain, which commands very beautiful views, an observatory (since 1887) and a hotel.
