Cerentino , in alpine Lombard local dialect Cerentín [tʃerentiŋ] , is a municipality in the county Rovana , vallemaggia , the Swiss canton of Ticino .

geography

The village is located at the junction of the Val di Bosco and the Valle di Campo and is 25 km northwest of Locarno . The eastern boundary of the municipality leads (mostly along streams) from Madone di Camedo (2446 m above sea level) via Pizzo Sascòla (2057 m above sea level) to Pizzo Mezzodì (2223 m above sea level) in a southerly direction. From there, after a short swing to the west, it leads in a north-westerly direction to Pizzo Bombögn (2231 m above sea level). The northern border (to the municipality of Bosco / Gurin ) then runs in an easterly direction to Pian Crosc (1955 m above sea level), there turns in a northerly direction over to the Camino (2489 m above sea level). The rest of the parish boundary runs along ridges. First north-east to Pizzo d'Orsalietta (2476 m above sea level), then south-east back over Pizzo della Rossa (2482 m above sea level) and Madonino (2483 m above sea level) to Madone di Campo. The main streams are the Rovana and the Bosco, which flow together south of the hamlet of Collinasca (761 m above sea level, 500 m east of Cerentino).

All eleven main settlements are north of the Rovana. However, not all of them are inhabited. In addition to the above-mentioned Collinasca, these are Cerentino (980 m above sea level), Camanoi (1136 m above sea level, 1 km north of Cerentino), Corino (1093 m above sea level, west of Camanoi), Casa dei Giün (1080 m above sea level), Corsopra (1140 m above sea level, both northwest of Cerentino) and Piede delle Piode (954 m above sea level, 1 km southwest of Cerentino). Of the total community area of ​​2016 ha, 66.2% is covered by forest and wood and 27.6% by unproductive area (mostly mountains). In addition, there is only 4.3% agricultural land (mostly Alps) and 1.8% settlement area.

Neighboring communities are Cevio , Bosco / Gurin and Campo (Vallemaggia) .
