Ces is a formerly abandoned mountain village on a plateau in northern Ticino (1450 m above sea level) and, together with four other "montis" (summer pastures), belongs to the Chironico district of the municipality of Faido in the Valle Leventina.

Ces is far from the traffic chaos and can only be reached on foot, a two-hour uphill walk. Even on the way up, you come across a varied landscape, and in the village itself you will notice the naturally cultivated plateau with waterfall, moorland and rare flowers.

Ces is located in a hunting reserve.

The village consists of around 25 houses and stables, some dilapidated, others rebuilt, and a chapel. A third of the buildings belong to us, the self-managed "Foundation for the Reconstruction of Ces" (Fondazione FRC). Since 1972, we have been working together to ensure that the village and its surroundings retain their traditional characteristics and that Ces is open to alternative and communal forms of living and working.
