The Sester Valley, also known as the Malatinska Valley, is a picturesque and deeply cut valley in the Choč Mountains, which crosses the entire range from south to north. It separates the Prosieczny Group from the Sielnické Vrchy and runs along the Sestrčský stream. It is named after the now defunct settlement of Sestrč, whose area was flooded during the construction of the Liptovská Mara reservoir in the 1970s. The route through the valley leads from Bukovina to Malatiná and is closed to car traffic, making it an ideal section for cyclists looking for peace and quiet and wilderness.
