A playful little adventure for a very real Swiss tradition
Why the flowers?+
In the tradition described in our guide, festive decorations celebrate a summer without livestock losses. Our fictional herd has had a safe summer.
A homecoming, in two languages+
Alpabzug in Swiss German, désalpe in French: both mark the return from summer mountain pastures to valley farms.
