Culture in Other Forms

When the members of the Yodelling club meet they are continuing a traditional form of singing which is rooted in the population. The same is true for the traditional costume dancers who are extremely proud of their ornate "Sunday-best" costumes and the intricate dance steps which have been passed down from previous generations. They all want to show off their prowess at guest evenings and to involve the public in their efforts. The brass bands, which play in the open air, add to the friendly atmosphere as does the church choir. The Sport Club offers a variety of sports to toughen the body.

The village presents a complete village life to our guests. The historical backgound to our village can be found in a small exhibition located in the lower floor of the Church Parish House and, during the season, Dia-shows and guided tours of the village.

Flower hikes are very popular. They lead over mountain hiking paths and mountain trails, to the seven alpine huts provided by the Swiss Alpine Club. Culture includes Nature and all that grows and lives here as well as the air we breathe and the water we drink and the necessary respect for all of these. People are the centre of a community which seeks to provide an environment in which all can feel comfortable and safe. The best a tourist village can offer its guests is a feeling for the values which are held by the inhabitants in the hope that these will add to his life at home.
