Every year they bring the cows down from the mountains after grazing at the higher elevations for about 100 days. They are usually accompanied by a big load of cheese produced during this period as well. The cows return is usually marked with floral headdresses and lots of anticipation. My group and I missed the cow parade by just a few hours, but we still caught the costumes. I am still on Swiss cloud #9. I love this place!
