In Switzerland, at the beginning of autumn, a beautiful living tradition takes place all over the country: Alpabzug, the alpine descent of cows, cattle, goats, and other farm animals. Between September and October, many Swiss farmers are busy returning their animals from the mountain pastures. After spending the summer grazing on meadows with fresh herbs, the bovines will be spending their winters in the barn.
Although a sort of mundane agricultural event, the Swiss turn these alpine descents into an opportunity to praise the beloved cows. As you have probably figured out, the Swiss love their cows. They even had a (very emotional) vote recently on whether cows should have the right to keep their horns. Truly, cows occupy an important place in the hearts of the Swiss and in their culture.
Through videos or photos, you might have observed Swiss cows enjoying their lives in the mountains. By decorating and dressing them up with the biggest bells, flowers, greenery, herbs, and flags, the farmers showcase their beauty and agricultural achievements. The rhythmic sound of the cowbells accompanying the procession has a calming effect. You cannot help smiling from the aesthetic satisfaction when seeing the animals, and you might even say "wie hübsch!" – "how pretty!"
If you have not yet fallen in love with cows while travelling and/or living in Switzerland, you surely will while experiencing the return of cows. :-)
Enjoy!
