Alpaufzug🐄💐
Every spring, hundreds of farmers across Switzerland set off with their decorated animals toward the alpine summer pastures – this tradition is called the “Alpaufzug.” The cows wear intricately embroidered flower headdresses, large bells (“Trychlen”) echo through the valleys, and the procession is often accompanied by flag throwers, the sounds of alphorns, and a festive folk atmosphere. The Alpaufzug is not only the beginning of the alpine summer but also a living cultural heritage deeply rooted in the mountain regions. 📅 Depending on the region, the Alpaufzug takes place between May and June – a true highlight for both visitors and locals. 📸 Have you ever witnessed such a procession?
