So, yes, Säntis is well below the proportions of the Alps, but nonetheless it is the highest point for many kilometres around.Ībove: Lac Cheserys, Mont Blanc Massif (highest range of the Alps), Argentière, France Säntis is also the highest mountain of both cantons of Appenzell Ausserrhoden and Appenzell Innerrhoden.
