Alphorn is part of all cultural assemblies in Switzerland. The 'désalpe' makes no exception to the rule. As we celebrate the cows leaving the Alpine heights to come home for winter, cheese, wine, bells and Alphorns make the day! #Culture
Alphorn is part of all cultural assemblies in Switzerland. The 'désalpe' makes no exception to the rule. As we celebrate the cows leaving the Alpine heights to come home for winter, cheese, wine, bells and Alphorns make the day! #Culture
Every year, in September, the cows leave the Alpine heights and go down in the valley for winter. A week-end of celebration marks this event where gatherings in villages happen to celebrate - and thank - the cows coming home. That is a pure heritage in Switzerland called 'la désalpe'. #Culture
