Your Swiss excursion is incomplete without a trip to Appenzellerland, known for its undulating green hills, flowery meadows, rugged mountains and a vibrant local life. The village of Appenzell has long been one of Switzerland’s most active centres for yodelling, alphorn playing and other expressions of Swiss musical tradition. Wander down the streets and you will see distinctive local houses with painted facades and attached barns. And if you fancy primitive art, don’t forget to pick up a traditional ‘Appenzeller panoramic cow’ painting from a local souvenir shop.
Take a tour of the Lindt & Sprüngli Chocolate Factory and choose from a range of chocolates at the factory shop.
