Cows coming home

As I mentioned yesterday, it’s a bit chilly at the moment, and for the farmers this means that it’s time to bring the cattle down from their summer pastures. This is quite an event down in Lauterbrunnen, as there are a lot of cows and only one street for them to walk along. Here they come.

The cows are dressed up for the occasion. All traffic in the village comes to a halt.

Eventually they all arrive at a meadow beneath the waterfall. From here they’ll be taken back to their farms for the winter.

At Stechelberg the outdoor company North Face are having a mountain festival. All sorts of activities are on offer, but participants have to live in tents for the weekend and it’s really a bit cold for that.

These people have climbed onto the roof of the cable car to get photos of the festival. The cable car then departed with them on top so they could get a better shot!

The Sunstar has sponsored a parapente.
