ERINGER ALP DESCENT

Inleiding
The traditional cattle drive down from the alp, featuring the crowning of the Alp Queen and traditional folk music, is a highlight.
When the Alpine summer comes to an end, the farmers lead their cattle back down to the valley. Every year, many enthusiastic spectators marvel at the traditionally decorated cows as they set out on their long journey to Blatten.
